The story takes place in a remote forest, where a couple in their sixties—a director and an actress—spend their days in wooden cabins by the river. Their lives flow in harmony with nature, but not without disputes over lifestyle and work. She longs for the world of theater, the red carpet, and the glow of fame; he, meanwhile, withdraws from the modern world, retreating into memories of childhood and times when life was simpler and the connection with nature more authentic. Their relationship is full of tenderness, yet permeated by a subtle conflict that reveals the gap between their dreams of the past and the harsh reality of aging life. The film is a delicate portrait of struggling with time, nostalgia for bygone years, and the attempt to find meaning in the belated lives of artists who cannot fully adapt to a changing world.
