Synopsis
Divorcee Daphne lives with her 10-year-old socially awkward son, who has hardly any communication with her. She works from home due to the pandemic restrictive measures, so she has no other physical interaction. She signs up on a dating app and switches from one sexual partner to the next, but does not seem to be satisfied at least not with what she thought she needed; until she finds a wounded dog in the street. How far would she go to feel affection once again?
