Nene

Nene is in her eighties, an accomplished and retired painter. When her daughter visits from the city with her young grandson, Nene quietly sets out to finish one final painting — a deeply personal act her family knows nothing about.

A quiet, tender reflection on legacy, aging, and the inner world we carry into old age.
