Watch the teaser

In the image of a paternal funeral fantasy, after seventeen long years since his death, the siblings, who have never been reunited before, finally organise their first meeting in order to talk about their father, their memories and their hopes for the future. They share stories from their childhood, comparing notes on what it was like to grow up with an absent father and wondering what their lives would have been like if he had been around.

Together they question the possibility of establishing a family relationship as strangers who have never met before and are unsure of what family love actually means.
