In a nostalgic yet worn-out roller rink by the seaside, a mother facing change collides with a daughter returning after years away. Their reunion propels both to confront regrets, regrets, and shared history. Through flashbacks and heartfelt confrontation, they navigate one another’s hurt and longing, seeking closure—and perhaps a renewed bond—on the frayed boards of their youth’s shared sanctuary.
