“For decades, Ruth has been waiting for the return of her twin sister, who left on a space mission. In a stream of thoughts suspended between memory, childhood, and absence, she recalls their secret game: whoever spots a yellow car first, wins. But in the silence of such a deep absence, the echo of that game turns into poetry, memory, and waiting”.
