Echo of Existence follows a young man planning suicide on the 16th day death ritual of his late uncle. Feeling like a burden, he isolates himself—only to be left at home with his separated sister’s son. As memories surface and generational pain echoes, he faces a critical choice: to end his life or break the cycle. A moving tale of trauma, connection, and the quiet power of presence.Through memory, silence, and unexpected connection, the film explores whether pain must be inherited—or if it can be broken.
