Overview
On a quiet summer morning, a man and a woman glide across a tranquil lake in their kayaks. Although they move together, an emotional distance separates them. Their journey takes a sudden turn as they enter a dark, mysterious river. For the man, it’s familiar territory; for the woman, it’s an unsettling and intimidating unknown. As they reach the shore and step out, they struggle to bridge the gap between them, but the harder they try, the more elusive their connection becomes.
