description
The film is composed of recorded phone conversations between a mother and her son: she lives by astrological predictions, he complains about problems with his boyfriend; she sings karaoke, he travels the world; she gets sick, he stays silent.
But in the Year of the White Moon, the invisible karmic planet Selena will show them the path of Light and Grace, giving their lives a sense of higher purpose.
A tragicomedy about the dialogue between two closest people who live far apart and cannot truly hear each other.
