Synopsis

Maya, a woman in her 30s, is trapped in an abusive marriage with Aron, a controlling and violent man. One terrifying night, after a brutal confrontation, she locks herself in the bathroom, desperate to escape his rage. Haunted by memories of their once-loving relationship, Maya is trapped between fear and the hope of freedom. A call to her friend Anna sparks a flicker of courage, but Aron’s manipulative and volatile behaviour pushes her to the edge.
