Saying goodbye.
Holding on.
Two women try to celebrate the end of a five-year relationship on a desert getaway, but one final bid for intimacy forces them to confront the roles that kept them together.
A week after breaking up, two women retreat to a desert house, hoping to celebrate almost five years together and begin again as friends. Familiar gestures and a renewed attempt at intimacy expose feelings neither has left behind.
Across a poolside afternoon, sunset, and a night around the fire, the story asks what happens when caring for someone becomes the way we understand ourselves—and whether compassion can survive separation.
