SYNOPSIS

It’s a film about a single parent’s struggle through hard times financially and mentally. It’s a story about a single father who has a severely autistic daughter. The only thing she can say is “Are you okay?” and she keeps repeating it. Mike is looking for a single sign of hope or affection from her, something to hold on to and the only thing that could save their lives. An event finally triggers Mike to take his own life but is saved by someone he never hoped from.
