Synopsis

A young mother is dying of thirst. The water she needs murmurs deep beneath the earth and the only way to reach it is to dig. With every layer of soil she removes, a woman from her family’s past emerges, each from an older time, each carrying a story of love and loss. At the bottom of the well lies the ancient tragedy that has shaped them all. By facing it, the heroine breaks the silent chain of inherited pain and is reborn, ready to carry the lineage forward.
