When Nella notices her husband, Eric, acting strangely, she follows him to see where he’s going. After several nights of this, she decides to confront him. The truth is more shocking than she could imagine, changing her life forever.
Eric, after 12 years of marriage, suddenly asks for space. He says it’s not about them, but his behavior raises suspicions in Nella. He starts leaving the house every night to sleep in his car, and she fears the worst — that he’s cheating. On the tenth night, she follows him to a local park, where she discovers he’s not meeting someone, but spending hours alone, recording bedtime stories for their kids.
When Nella confronts him, Eric reveals he’s been diagnosed with terminal cancer and has been preparing for a future without him by leaving these memories for their children. Eric’s condition worsens, and despite his best efforts, he passes away. After his death, Nella listens to one last recording he made for her, where he calls her his fairytale and reminds her that their love story will live on.
The recordings give her comfort, and she continues to cherish the memory of their life together.
