We are all drops in the river of life that we flow through, and in the film we see the pain of some of these drops and their life experiences, and their struggle between the harsh circumstances that drag them down and frustrate them and the desire to be freed from the suffering and rise again or settle down due to the circumstances imposed by the necessities of life.

The film talks about the pain hidden in the corners of the soul and the psychological breakdowns that accumulate day after day, fold upon fold, forming a heavy weight on the heart. They are small details related to the partner sometimes and to work and life circumstances other times, so a person becomes in need of confiding in order to purify his heart and soul and hear some of his groans for the one who is supposed to be his warm embrace, like a child who takes refuge in the arms of his parents after they had abused or become angry with him. Confession is a highly sincere emotional state and its whisper is like a stifled, choked scream. It is a film that talks about the simple cracks that, when they increase, threaten the relationship with the partner and warn of its collapse. It is a social film that moves between the depths of hearts, shedding light on those pains hidden within each of us.

Will he stand alone in his ordeal despite all he has given to those around him? This is a bet that the film "The sage" will answer after a series of exciting challenges and events.
