Through a series of everyday events, the film uncovers the family’s struggles, interpersonal conflicts, joys, and ways of life as they navigate through the intertwined yet unassuming layers of social and political influence.The family is caught off guard as an unexpected move threatens their fate and alters life as they know it.
