About the film

Vicentina struggles to cope with the death of her son Wesley after a tragic bus accident, in which he was the driver. As the investigation unfolds, evidence suggests that Wesley’s actions may have been suicidal. Vicentina then embarks on a journey to seek out the victims’ families and apologize, while confronting her own grief and uncertainty.
