A woman must come to terms with the loss of her chance to become a mom. The catalyst for her journey toward acceptance is the unwelcome apparition of a raven that relentlessly follows her. As it only reminds her of pain, she tries to get rid of it, but its persistence forces her to confront her emotions and ultimately guides her toward acceptance.
