📖 Story

An aging man's stubborn refusal to accept help becomes a descent into paranoia and fractured reality. The Father masterfully blurs the line between what is remembered and what is imagined, turning a daughter's compassion into a source of doubt and distrust. As his mind unravels, the viewer becomes trapped within his perspective, experiencing the terrifying loss of control that accompanies cognitive decline. It's a haunting meditation on pride, love, and the tragedy of slipping away while those who care can only watch helplessly.
