In my story, I explore the emotions and desires of a forcibly displaced woman, set at the intersection of daily life and the pursuit of a better life, under the recurring leitmotif of an ever-changing sky. Through my story, I delve into the simple demands of people to keep on living, enjoy life, and discover the world, while also addressing their complex relationships, past traumas, and lost childhoods stemming from their "previous, precarious lives".
