As her father’s death draws near, a long-suppressed trauma rises to the surface, robbing Sara of her voice. For years, this unspoken truth has hardened her, shaping her into a woman of precision and distance, a mother who learned survival through silence. Now, as her son stands on the threshold of fatherhood himself, what was once buried becomes urgent and Sara is seized by a desperate need to be heard. Unable to speak, she reaches for another language and leaves her son a final message through an act of profound vulnerability.
