Michal faces the bittersweet milestone of sending her two young sons to school for the first time, a moment shadowed by the absence of their father, Alex, who was killed while in captivity. Four-year-old Tom is starting preschool, while little Kai, born during Alex's captivity, is entering daycare. Despite the joy such milestones usually bring, Michal is left to navigate the challenges of single parenthood, balancing daily routines with visits to the cemetery. Kai, who knows his father only through photographs, often calls out for him, a poignant reminder of the family's loss. Michal finds strength in these moments, acknowledging that while Alex is gone, his presence remains an important part of their lives.
