After five years of grief, Ben returns from the cemetery with flowers for his late wife, Winter, only to find the same bouquet in his kitchen. His daughter, Eliza, now 18, appears indifferent as he leaves for the cemetery. At Winter’s grave, Ben places the roses, feeling a mix of sorrow and longing.
Upon returning home, he discovers the identical roses again, sending him into a panic. Eliza, just back from being out, is confused by his distress. They rush back to the cemetery, but the flowers are gone, raising more questions.
Back at home, Eliza speculates that her mother might be trying to communicate. Ben is skeptical but finds a note hidden under the vase in Winter’s handwriting: “I know the truth, and I forgive you. But it’s time for you to face what you’ve hidden.”
Faced with the weight of guilt, Ben reveals to Eliza that her mother’s death wasn’t just an accident—it followed a fight over his infidelity. To his shock, Eliza reveals she knew the truth from her mother’s diary. She had taken the roses and written the note to force Ben to confront his deception.
As Eliza leaves, Ben is left alone with the roses, a painful reminder that some wounds fester until the truth emerges.
