“The perfect weekend for a wedding… but the storm is coming.”

Drama

A young woman who has been in and out from rehab for the past 10 years returns home for the weekend for her sister's wedding.

VIBE

This film feels like an unvarnished glimpse into a family's raw, complex emotional landscape. It's an intimate, sometimes tense, yet ultimately cathartic experience, exploring the messy truths of love, addiction, and forgiveness with a naturalistic, almost documentary-like honesty.
