Synopsis
Ann is a young widow who has taken her first big step toward re-establishing a life of intimacy with someone new, by spending the night with a female friend, Jamie. In the morning, an unsuspecting Jamie evokes an unexpected reaction from Ann, who is dealing with the emotional repercussions of the night before.
The film examines how people deal with loss; how grief sneaks up on us; how we keep apparently harmless mementos in plain sight but lock away real feelings deep inside; how we set up boundaries to keep people away, then lower them, only to raise them again as the waves of pain threaten to break over the walls.
