    After the death of her beloved grandmother Evelyn, Lena finds an old photo album hidden in the attic. Inside, she discovers a series of mysterious photographs of the same man—Gabriel Hart—who appears beside her grandmother throughout several decades, without ever aging. Disturbed and intrigued, Lena follows the clues, leading her to an abandoned photo studio in an old park. There, she meets Gabriel in person—unchanged, timeless, waiting for her. He reveals an astonishing truth: Lena carries the soul of her grandmother, Evelyn, reborn. Gabriel has been waiting across lifetimes for her to return. Lena faces an emotional choice—whether to embrace her past and restore their lost love or walk away forever.

    #Story :

    Emma and Lucas, a couple seeking peace from their stressful lives, rent a remote cabin by a misty lake for the weekend. Soon after they arrive, Emma is drawn to the lake’s strange stillness and hears soft whispers calling out, “Don’t forget me.” Near the water’s edge, she finds an old silver locket with portraits of a young couple and an inscription hinting at a forgotten love story. Curious, they visit the nearby village, where they learn about Eleanor and James—a couple from long ago who were forbidden to be together and vanished in a storm while trying to escape across the lake. Emma realizes that the spirits of Eleanor and James are still bound to the lake, waiting for their story to be finished. Guided by their whispers, Emma returns the locket to the water, allowing their spirits to finally find peace.
