Greylight
Description
In the ash-grey quiet of a ruined world, Calla tends a fragile garden of memory and meaning—flowers coaxed from dying soil, each bloom a quiet act of defiance. Isolated in a crumbling greenhouse, her days unfold in silence, ritual, and whispered connection with the life growing inside her. But when a stranger arrives, trailing old ghosts and unanswered questions, the delicate balance she’s built begins to shift. In a place where grief has hardened into suspicion and softness is seen as weakness, Calla must decide whether the stubborn act of hope is enough to protect what remains—or whether some seeds must be buried deeper to truly survive. A meditation on survival, solitude, and the quiet persistence of beauty, Greylight is a haunting, lyrical tale of memory, resistance, and the fragile beginnings of something new.
