Project Synopsis
Dani, in her sixties, meets her estranged ex-husband Henry for a late night dinner. Their reunion stirs echoes of the family they once were, and the future they never became. Henry presses to reclaim what was lost, but his words drift between tenderness and disorientation, while Dani seems to know every line before he speaks it. Old wounds surface in unexpected ways, and as past and present blur, both are left to confront whether love can endure the shadows of memory—or if it’s already too late.
