Summer is over. A couple is on a film shooting in Menorca. There’s a Decathlon in the background. Everything feels like it could fall apart at any moment. The director, also the lead actress, searches for an epiphany. She needs it to give meaning to her story and finish the film. But this time, she realizes miracles won’t provide the answers she needs.
