Her father, whom she has little contact with, has recently passed away, leaving her feeling lost and disconnected from her past. To make matters worse, her ex-boyfriend Lewis (played by Eric Stoltz) is stalking her, constantly calling and sending her threatening messages.

The Return masterfully explores the tension between professional success and personal chaos. Joanna's struggle to find equilibrium mirrors the universal experience of modern life—where ambition often comes at the cost of loneliness. A thought-provoking film that forces us to confront our own internal demons while chasing the American Dream.
