Lulú is now just a shadow of her former self since the day four years ago when her husband and 9-year-old son were dragged out of their car and abducted. Despite no trace of their being alive or their whereabouts, Lulú cannot give up hope of finding them. A film about the trauma and emotion of absence, and getting back to living life.
