Logline: Cheerful and ever-spirited, Lola Odesa never forgets to jot down even the smallest details of her day. But in the silence between her words, a question lingers—what is she truly trying to hold on to?
Synopsis: To anyone else, her daily scribbles might seem trivial — errands, names, fleeting thoughts. But hidden in the rhythm of her routine lies something deeper. As her diary quietly expands, a quiet tension hums beneath the surface: Is she documenting life… or holding onto something slowly slipping away?
