Manu returns to her childhood home for her mother’s birthday. The visit brings a wave of memories from the past within a dysfunctional family; a sister suffering from schizophrenia, an absent father and a mother trying to balance between different needs to avoid conflicts.
A psychological drama describing the confrontation between healthy and sick, between our rational understanding and what we have to handle emotionally but sometimes are unable to. It is about parenthood, sisterhood, love and frustration and also about confidence in psychiatry.
