Through a series of non-linear flashbacks and dream sequences, the film slowly reveals the traumatic events that have shaped Lerma's life. From her childhood to her adult years, Lerma's experiences are marked by violence, abuse, and loss. As the audience, we are left questioning what is real and what is just a product of Lerma's fragile mental state.
One of the most striking aspects of "Ekis" is its exploration of themes that are both timely and timeless. The film tackles issues of mental health, trauma, and the objectification of women, all of which are still highly relevant today.
