Abstract of the short film:

When a therapist’s daughter decides to break into her mother’s office, steal all the medication and end her life, an uninvited patient walks in and is desperately asking for help. What follows is a very unorthodox therapy session, where the therapist is not a real professional. The two women bond over their mutual journeys of loss and grief and inspire one another to keep coping with having lost a loved one.

Karina and Vasilis will give a session at the Mediawave Passport Controll film workshop at Kund Castle in Somogyfajsz, between 17-23 July 2023.
