TRACES OF YESTERDAY
By Enara Nsan

GENRE: Drama
LOGLINE:

A woman slowly losing her memory confuses her husband for their son, but as the past and present begin to blur, the truth she's buried for decades fights to surface—just as her time runs out.

SYNOPSIS:

Cecilia, a once-vibrant woman now living with dementia, spends her days in fragments, confusing her husband for her son, chasing memories that slip through her fingers. As her mind deteriorates, her husband Tony lovingly cares for her, quietly enduring the heartbreak of watching the woman he loves fade away.

But the past is never truly gone. Through vivid flashbacks and disjointed recollections, the story of young Cecilia unfolds, a tale of forbidden love, betrayal, and a mother’s unrelenting grip. As she nears the end of her life, long-suppressed secrets resurface, and with them, the quiet truth of a life shaped by love, loss, and sacrifice.

In a deeply intimate and hauntingly lyrical journey, Traces of Yesterday explores how memory defines us—and what happens when it begins to unravel.
