Clarice, an Armenian housewife living in the oil city of Abadan, has spent seventeen years giving everything she has to her husband, her children, and the quiet routines of domestic life. Her days move in a careful rhythm. Familiar. Predictable. Almost invisible. But everything shifts when a new neighbor arrives. Emil, a forty-year-old widower, moves in next door with his young daughter and elderly mother. His presence is gentle yet unsettling. He reads poetry. He listens. He sees her. Something her husband, Artoush, has long forgotten how to do. As the two families grow closer, Clarice finds herself pulled toward a feeling she believed she had left behind long ago. Emil’s kindness becomes a mirror, reflecting the loneliness she has carried in silence. For the first time, she questions the life she built, the sacrifices she made, and the love she never received in return. Caught between duty and desire, Clarice must choose whether to remain the dependable woman everyone expects or to step into a life where her own needs finally matter. A quiet, intimate drama about longing, identity, and the courage to confront the shadows within.
