Tagline

"When can I let go? Is there more to this part of existing than to just float?"

Synopsis

Qetsiyah visits the apartment where she had lived with her mother Alya, until Alya ended her life when Qetsiyah was 11 years old. We follow Qetsiyah during her first confrontation with this space and the palpable presence that lingers inside. Long awaited conversations and confrontations take place between the physical presence (Qetsiyah) and the spiritual presence (Mother.)
