Description:

The passing of a seventy-year-old woman triggers a series of contemplative discussions among her adult offspring regarding the disposition of her accumulated wealth and possessions. Rather than focusing on the melodrama of a family feud, this film delves into the emotional intricacies as each child grapples with their unique relationship to both their mother and her legacy. As they navigate through their personal history, resentment, and financial considerations, the siblings are forced to confront long-buried familial dynamics that ultimately test the strength of their bond. This thoughtful examination of inheritance, grief, and sibling relationships is underscored by moments of poignant humor and tender introspection.
