After waking from a haunting dream with debilitating neck pain, a woman struggles through a day where ordinary movements become an unbearable challenge. As she attempts to navigate her morning routine and care for her lively young daughter, memories and dreams begin to intertwine, pulling her into a surreal exploration of the past and present. Vivid recollections of a childhood friend, now deceased, surface alongside a haunting dream of figures endlessly bowing and the reality of people rushing to work. These fragments of memory and imagination echo the weight of loss, motherhood, and the strain of existence. Unable to lift her head, even to glimpse the sky above, the woman is forced to confront the delicate balance between the routine of life and the pain of holding herself upright, as others are able to, in a crumbling world.
