Through warm flashbacks and grounded present day moments, the film explores the lasting impact of love and the shadow that grief leaves behind. As Chloe revisits key moments, building forts, fighting with their dad, the hospital visits, and Jaz’s 16th birthday at the beach, we see how much she has held on. On what would have been Jaz’s 18th birthday, Chloe visits her grave. Despite the promise her sister once made, “Don’t be sad”, Chloe ends the film with a heartbreaking truth: “I still am.”
