A man grieving the impending loss of his wife to cancer finds solace and unexpected understanding on a park bench by the sea, where he meets a woman who shares a similar grief from her own past. As the man confides in the woman about his anxieties and worries for his young daughter, the woman reveals that she lost her mother to cancer as a child, finding strength and love in the support of her father. Through their shared experience, the woman helps the man recognize the strength he possesses as a father and the enduring love he holds for his daughter, offering hope and reassurance that he will be there for her just as her father was there for her. Their conversation unfolds as a poignant reminder that even in the face of loss, love and remembrance can provide solace and guide us through the darkest of times.
