For Those Who Love, Leave, and Love Again

Haunted by the shadows of an absent father, Paul restlessly roams the city, meeting different characters and facing situations that set him to confront his inner turmoil. Torn between what is visible and what remains hidden, between fleeting encounters and deep isolation, Paul's journey mirrors the fractured pieces of his identity as he seeks to break free from his emotional numbness.
