Plot
In the wake of their father's death, two brothers and their sister are caught in the whirlwind of their past when their long-lost sibling, Kyra, resurfaces unexpectedly. Absent for over two decades following the disintegration of the hippie commune that marked their birthplace, Kyra is virtually a stranger in their midst. Yet, when she uncovers the shrouded truth of her existence, a labyrinth of buried secrets begins to unravel.
As Kyra digs deeper into the hidden narratives of their shared history, each sibling is drawn inexorably into a compelling exploration of their forgotten childhood memories. The past they had once suppressed for survival now demands their attention, leading them on a poignant journey of self-discovery and reconciliation.
This is the debut feature film from Marie Kreutzer, a riveting exploration of family ties and individual freedom, of belonging and isolation.
