I Was Curious Why My Parents Kept an Old Videotape in the Safe until I Saw What Was on It

While helping her estranged mother pack, Lucy discovers a note reading “Do not show Lucy” on a list. Her curiosity leads her to a hidden videotape in a safe, which sparks questions about her parents’ secrets.

The day begins tense, with Lucy frustrated over helping her father pack her mother’s things. Their strained relationship surfaces during the drive, and when they arrive, Lucy finds a cryptic note on the list. Intrigued, she opens the safe and uncovers an old videotape.

Back home, Lucy watches the tape, discovering a young girl named Chloe, not her, in her parents’ past. Confused, she visits her mother at a nursing home and confronts her about the tape. Her mother reveals that Chloe was their first daughter, who tragically died in an accident. Lucy, it turns out, was adopted, though her parents always considered her their real daughter, keeping the secret to protect her.
