A short film about how the wounds we receive from others lead us to hurt those around us, and the journey to break that cycle.

Five people from different walks of life are joined by an art therapist. Together, they embark on a session in order to alleviate their feelings of guilt and regret. The session unfolds with each participant candidly sharing their deeply-rooted guilt, shedding light on the personal burdens they’ve been carrying. As the session continues, the therapist’s ulterior motive is revealed, prompting all but one participant to leave.
