In the aftermath of a diagnostic surgery for endometriosis, Ana endures a painful post-op consultation where her surgeon dismisses her symptoms, leaving her vulnerable and without answers. Unable to accept being ignored, Ana takes her search for answers into her own hands, researching her condition and returning to the hospital determined to force the system to listen. As Ana’s pain continues to isolate her from daily life, her father Fionn struggles to reconcile his helplessness with his desire to protect her. While quietly defending her against the ignorance of others, he begins to understand that the only way he can help is not by fixing her suffering, but by standing beside her as she fights to be heard.
