Beskrivelse
A gripping story about a young man on the brink of despair who finds unexpected hope through an unlikely friendship. Hai's life shifts dramatically after a chance encounter changes everything.
A powerful tale of transformation, connection, and self-discovery.
Nineteen-year-old Hai, a college dropout, is unsure how to face what lies ahead until a fateful meeting with Grazina, an elderly widow, alters his path. One late summer evening in the town of East Gladness, Hai stands on a bridge, ready to end it all, when he hears a voice calling out from across the river. That voice is Grazina’s, and from that moment, Hai’s second chance begins.
Throughout the following year, Hai’s journey unfolds with surprising twists, as his deepening bond with Grazina reshapes how he sees his family, his community, and most importantly, himself.
