Ana received an invitation to direct a production based on The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. Excited by the opportunity, she dives into the creation of the play, but a shadow looms over her life: the grief of losing her mother, who always encouraged her to follow her dreams and had given her the book as a child, its illustrations covered with colourful tape to let Ana imagine her own version of the story. As she tries to balance her emotions and the pressures of directing, Ana finds herself confronted with painful memories and the need to discover her own voice. Amid rehearsals and reflections, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, reflecting on the importance of facing grief and realising what colours can be given to its shadow.
