Synopsis
Diane is on the brink of giving birth to her first child. While seemingly ordinary as a social occurrence, this event will profoundly impact her, setting her off on a directionless journey in search of something she may not even fully comprehend. The film aligns itself with the protagonist while also maintaining a measured distance, offering viewers the chance until the conclusion of her journey to discern their feelings about each decision or action Diane takes in her pursuit of the elusive “possible paradises”.
