On the night before her wedding, a poet sets out across the city to revisit the ghosts of her past relationships - seeking, in each encounter, an answer to a question she cannot yet name. Set in Chicago’s Little Village, the film unfolds as a lyrical reckoning with memory, desire, and the unraveling of intimacy over time. What emerges is a portrait of love in its afterlife, where connection lingers, transforms, and refuses to resolve cleanly.
