3 roles
A middle-aged father struggling with emotional and psychological trauma from a past war. Quiet, distant, and prone to isolation, he finds himself haunted - not just by memories, but by something in his home that may or may not be real. His behavior is slow, deliberate, and heavy with internal tension.
A young girl living in the shadow of her father's trauma. She doesn't fully understand what happened to him, but she feels the weight of it every day in the silence of their home. She's quiet, emotionally restrained, and unusually perceptive for her age — aware of her father's pain, but unsure how to reach him.
The older brother of a war veteran who has returned home deeply changed. He's seen his younger sibling unravel over time - first emotionally, then spiritually — and now he's doing everything he can to keep the family from falling apart. Stern but compassionate, he carries his own burden of guilt for not being there during the war, and for being unable to bring his brother back to who he once was.
