On her 21st birthday, a young woman receives a gift from her older brother — a childhood elephant trinket that stirs up memories of never being good enough. Fueled by resentment and insecurity, she makes a wish… and wakes up in a world where her brother never existed. This 8-minute psychological fantasy short explores the darker side of sibling love, identity, and regret.
