Synopsis

Before Sara has time to process the news of her teenage daughter’s troubled behaviour at school, she’s confronted with an even more serious concern: her husband has gone missing. Sometime in the night, after a routine argument, he just up and left, leaving behind a mystery that falls almost entirely on Sara to solve. Along with one of the neighbours, they begin desperately seeking him. What comes quicker into view though is just how dependent she had become on him to survive. The film balances suspense with social commentary as Sara simultaneously searches for her husband while struggling to reclaim her and her daughter’s independence.
