DramaRomance

A character study of a family on vacation. The emotional abyss and problems are behind the seemingly nice facade of an intact family as they experience guilt, love, and jealousy.

VIBE

A quiet, sun-drenched drama that peels back the veneer of a family holiday to reveal simmering tensions and unspoken regrets. It feels like a hazy memory, tinged with the awkwardness of growing up and the weight of adult secrets.
