Parents imprison feverish daughter to protect sister's last birthday moments.
A household revolves around a visible timer marking the younger sister's death at sixteen, directing every resource and affection toward her. On that appointed morning the older sibling wakes burning with fever and pleads for care, yet the parents bolt her inside a storage room to preserve the sister's final celebration. Cries for help go unanswered as footsteps retreat and consciousness fades, leaving the neglected child alone behind the locked door while the family observes the countdown's end.
