Storyline: A student short film follows James, a young lawyer who seems to have everything together while quietly battling burnout, grief, and the long shadow of an emotionally distant father.
His friendships, past relationship, and family ties are tested as memories mingle with reality and he is forced to face feelings he has avoided for years.
Alongside James are Mark, a supportive co worker and friend who offers warmth and grounded humour, and Lina, an intelligent former partner worn down by the past.
The voices of his parents echo through pivotal moments as James confronts loss, vulnerability, and the cost of perfection.
