Divided by time and tradition. United by love and hope. The story of an unforgettable family.

Drama

Set during World War II, an upper-class family begins to fall apart due to the conservative nature of the patriarch and the progressive values of his children.

VIBE

A quiet, devastating portrait of a marriage and family suffocating under the weight of unspoken expectations and emotional distance. It feels like watching polite people slowly unravel in the stifling atmosphere of mid-century conformity.
