SYNOPSIS

The old lady Conchitta has a dream. Her daughter says she is dead and her grandson says she should tell someone about her dream before the night falls in order to avoid death. She struggles to let people know that she is alive, but no one listens. In the morning, just like any other day, she sees off her son to work, and takes care of her grandson all day. However, the bad omens hang around with the lonely old lady. Will she ever be able to find someone who is willing to listen to her? Entangling the fantasy and dream, the film is superbly directed, leaving in your mind the emptiness felt by someone who is unable to prove her own existence. (Jenna Ku)
