About this submission

Iris returns to Barcelona after spending a year in Belgium completing her final year of university. This time apart has put her family’s established dynamics on pause, and now she finds herself facing a difficult decision—whether to accept a job offer that would mean staying in Ghent.

Back home, the reunion brings long-standing family roles and unspoken tensions between mother and daughter to the surface. With the job offer looming and a year of distance between them, Iris and Isabel navigate their deep emotional bond over the course of her first day back.
