The short film is a story about family, conflict in the domestic space and the manner in which it comes to affect children, the most vulnerable of them all in such a situation. The story opens with a heated argument between a couple, soon introducing the viewer to their imminent divorce which would eventually result in their little boy ending up with his mother.

However, as time would have it, the what-ifs soon enter the scenario, making our young protagonist question, even after all these years, that would his life be any different had he chosen to go with the father he clearly misses?

The rest of the film becomes an exploration of the different outcomes you might find yourself in, sometimes to even return to where you have started, especially if you are fated to lead a specific kind of life. The film is sincere in its approach and wants to tell an honest story. However, it would have benefited from a little more polishing in its sound department.
