Synopsis
The film follows Lisa, a woman who abandoned her child at birth and has spent the last twenty-three years obsessively searching for her. Her quest leads her to a young girl whom she believes to be her long-lost daughter, left at an orphanage. As Lisa begins to spy on the girl and infiltrates her life, she eventually discovers that this is not her daughter. However, unable to let go of the motherly role she has assumed, Lisa becomes increasingly determined to protect the girl, adopting a ruthless demeanor. The two lonely souls form a bond, with Lisa becoming a mother figure and the girl, a daughter.
