Drama
Cata’s summer takes a wild turn when her grandmother dies in a bizarre, unexpected moment—and she’s the only one there to see it. Instead of sinking into mourning, she idly slips into a game of make-believe, stepping into the role of the departed. What starts as a playful costume switch soon smudges the boundaries between what’s real and the shifting dynamics of her family.
