A woman leaves her husband and
children without saying goodbye. While
she struggles to build a new life, her family
is left completely uncertain about her
fate. The radical nature of her departure
appears to be an opportunity as well as
a trauma. The film is structured in three
episodes, each showing a different
perspective of the subject. The first one
accompanies the woman in Vienna and
Bratislava creating a new life for herself.
Although her past remains untold, she
seems driven by it. The second episode
portrays the life of her abandoned
husband and their children two years
after her disappearance. Their days
are still dominated by her mysterious
leaving. The final episode returns to the
last evening of the family.
