After twenty years of silence, Sophie decides to cross the threshold of her mother Eva’s apartment – a woman who was once her father. This meeting, in a stifling attic flat, becomes a confrontation with the past, with pain, and with questions about abandonment and acceptance.

Eva, a 55-year-old transgender woman, lives in isolation in a decaying tenement in a poor part of the city. Her daughter Sophie, a 35-year-old woman from a wealthier district, stands at the door with one burning question: “Why did you leave me?” Just as it seems the two women might finally find a spark of understanding, an unexpected event changes everything, revealing a truth more painful than years of silence.

Told in the style of poetic auteur cinema, the film unfolds through silence, glances, and gestures — offering no easy answers, and leaving space for the audience’s own interpretation. Director Jacek Kadaj, a cinematographer by training, used generative AI tools as a substitute for a traditional camera, experimenting with the possibility of capturing the subtlest human emotions through artificial intelligence.
