On an unrelenting day, a hardworking single mother is pushed to the breaking point by one small calamity after another, until a moment of unbearable pressure leads to a shocking act of desperation. The film follows her through raw, claustrophobic hours as mundane responsibilities and systemic indifference collide with personal grief and exhaustion, turning ordinary choices into moral battlegrounds. Audiences are drawn into her inner life by intimate performances and a taut, unsparing lens that refuses easy judgment.

As the consequences of that single decision ripple outward, the story examines what survival demands and what society asks of those who are already stretched thin. Tense and emotionally charged, the movie explores themes of motherhood, dignity, and the cost of silence, leaving viewers to reckon with empathy, accountability, and the fragile line between resilience and collapse.
