🎬 Time Still Turns the Pages|Some wounds quietly grow with us into adulthood
An anonymous suicide note makes a secondary school teacher stop in his tracks.
The words suggest a student under immense pressure— and the sense of helplessness and longing for understanding unexpectedly brings back fragments of his own childhood.
He begins to revisit the years when he felt left behind:
the child who could never quite catch up, the elder brother who constantly doubted himself, and the father who struggled to express affection.
With a gentle and restrained approach, the film follows his search for the student while revealing how he confronts the wounds he has long avoided. There is nothing loud or exaggerated in its storytelling; its quiet honesty is precisely what lingers.
