EMPTY NESTERS
Logline
Letting go is harder than holding on.
Synopsis
Hannes has everything he thought he wanted: a loving family, a comfortable home, and a life built on routine. But when his daughter decides to move out—and his wife decides to move on—his carefully balanced world begins to fall apart. Suddenly left behind, Hannes is forced out of his comfort zone and into a new phase of life he never saw coming. As he struggles to redefine himself as a father, a partner, and a man, he discovers that letting go might be the only way to move forward.
