I made this film to validate my own experience. After my first long-distance breakup, I felt invisible—like my relationship had never existed. Nothing in my daily life changed, yet everything felt different. I wanted to capture that dissonance, that quiet grief. This film is my scream into the void, my way of saying, ‘Witness me.’ While most stories I tell are to help others feel seen, this one was for me. In the end, I may forget his scent or his voice, but I’ll always remember how he made me feel. And that is enough.
