Mia returns from Stockholm to her parents' home in a small town in Dalecarlia (Dalarna) to celebrate her father's 70th birthday. Her elder sisters Eivor and Gunilla welcome her, but their different lifestyles prevent them from really communicating. The tension builds, and the party that should be a celebration turns out to be a turning point for the family and their friends

VIBE

A quiet, simmering drama unfolds during a strained family reunion. Beneath the surface of polite conversation, unspoken resentments and differing life paths create an atmosphere thick with awkward tension and melancholic reflection.
