The short film is a lovely interaction with a woman's exploration of what her life could have been or can be. As she makes hesitant, awkward, but endearing attempts to strive towards the same, the narrative offers a wonderful portrayal of it.

However, amidst all of this, when she looks for a corner for herself, where will she eventually find it, if she finds one at all?
