The dark tunnel keeps swallowing and spitting out its buses. Present and past collide.
After giving birth, Saar flees into what could have been her future. When the safe delusion is overtaken by harsh reality, everything becomes unbearable.
A Thai expat lives in Amsterdam, far away from her family and her roots. Because of the pandemic, she has not seen them in almost two years. Her only connection to home are daily conversations with her older sister.
