About Sarah

When asked if he believes in love, a nameless narrator traces the memories of his past relationships, each a fragment of affection, illusion, and longing. Among them stands Sarah, the woman who quietly became his obsession. “About Sarah” is an intimate exploration of memory, desire, and the stories we tell ourselves about love.
