Eva leads a seemingly settled life until she reaches a turning point at the age of 50. Deciding to leave her family behind, she embarks on a journey to find a last chance at romance and rediscover herself. This pursuit of personal fulfillment puts a heavy strain on her relationships with her husband and children. Cesc Gay delivers a poignant exploration of the choices we make for fear of the unknown and the feelings we often abandon along the way, questioning the true price of happiness and identity.
