Synopsis/Details
After a lifetime of shrinking herself to fit the quiet corners, a woman in her 50s wakes to the truth that “safety” has turned into invisibility. Jolted by a friend’s funeral, she makes a quiet, radical choice. Second Life is a contained, women-led drama about midlife reinvention and the warmth that follows when you choose to be seen.
