The film unfolds as a visual diary, tracing a young woman’s day in a city far from home as she unravels the mystery of a red car—lured by a dream of being pursued along a desolate hill path at night. Portrayed by multiple faces, her gestures are imbued with romanticized detail, while her fantasies take shape in cryptic objects. Memories of love and family resurface in texts, monologues, and playful exchanges with her dog, Oliver, slowly revealing the quiet longings of a drifting daughter searching for herself through shifting identities, within which lies the enigmatic red car.
