As Lou prepares for her first art showing at a prestigious gallery, she notices a man staring at her most recent painting. As the man turns around, Lou realizes the man is her father, whom she hasn’t spoken to in ten years since he left his wife and daughter. Confused by his sudden and unwelcome appearance, she pushes herself to let the night progress unbothered. As they pace through the gallery, they stop at various art pieces Lou has created throughout the year: Paintings that represent her journey in recognizing the struggles and emotional emptiness she experienced growing up without a father.
