Logline
When a sudden flood violently shatters his isolation, an emotionally paralyzed writer must journey into a forgotten wilderness to find a reason to live again.
Synopsis
A reclusive writer suffocating under the weight of unspoken grief is violently uprooted when a flash flood destroys his isolation.
Barely surviving, he awakens in a surreal, pristine wilderness. Guided only by fragmented childhood memories, he ventures deep into the forest toward a forgotten sanctuary—where a quiet discovery forces him to confront what it truly means to survive.
