Private Project

HAPPINESS

Yana, a 30-year-old real estate agent, visits an elegant Paris apartment owned by a seemingly affectionate artist couple, Nikita and Anna. Enchanted by their tender connection, Yana captures a photo of their embrace. But once she's gone, the illusion shatters—the affection was staged, a carefully crafted performance to sell a dream of love that no longer exists.
