What Remains
In a quiet hospital room, a daughter watches over her mother at the end of a long battle with cancer. Beneath the stillness, the film enters a symbolic world where years of endurance take the form of a struggle against an overwhelming darkness. When the fight finally comes to rest, something remains — the strength, love, and light carried forward by those left behind.
