The story revolves around three semi-estranged sisters, Ema, Megi and Rubi. Ema needs to sell the family home and take care of her nephews while Megi fights the same illness that took their mother’s life years ago, and Rubi is busy furthering her career. When Ema finds some old family tapes in the house, it triggers a wave of delayed grief, leading them to the conclusion that sometimes, the most important things are the simplest ones and that somebody’s chosen “tribe” can be their family as well.
