Scraps of Light

A recently widowed dressmaker tries to finish a wedding dress, but a candle that symbolizes his wife makes him feel her presence constantly. To avoid the pain, he overworks himself, which weakens his relationship with his son. When he, tired and confused, dreams of her wife and wakes up abruptly without her, he breaks down and understands that he must accept that she is gone in order to move on.
