Synopsis

Marian and Mikel, a young couple with hidden differences, move in together after discovering they’re expecting a child. She, modern and independent, believes she’s found the ideal man. He, traditional and conservative, dreams of the perfect family. But an unexpected tragedy changes everything: the loss of their baby not only shatters their dreams — it awakens a spiral of resentment, emotional manipulation, and growing abuse. What once seemed like the beginning of a loving life together spirals into a harrowing descent into a toxic battleground.
