Synopsis:

It’s never easy to talk about mortality with our loved ones.

Two empty-nest elderly people face emotional barriers in their journey to find a nursing home and love. Visas become an obstacle to their emotions. As time passes by, beneath the seemingly calm life, there’s an underlying sense of unrest.

Where is the end point of their search?
