After the death of his wife Edith, Jake feels like he has lost the chance to confront his past. He is convinced that Edith is haunting him for having lived a lie and for having never challenged her about the legitimacy of their son. 'Edith' explores how we move on from bereavements. How we make peace with our past and find something worth living for.
