Rene gets far more than she expected when she answers an ad for a portrait photographer. When Rene arrives at the address, she’s surprised to find the building is actually a small clinic, and what she thought was an apartment unit is a room number. Inside, she meets Jaz, and the true nature of her job comes into focus; she’s been hired to take portraits of Jaz with her dying infant. Unable to find a graceful way out of the situation, Rene photographs Jaz with her child, and in doing so, the two women quietly form an intense connection that unsettles and transforms them both.
