A darkly comic, character-driven portrait of four siblings processing grief through chaos, absurdity, and unexpected tenderness on the day of their mother's funeral.

A group of four siblings reunite in Glasgow on the eve of their mother's funeral, and the children mourn their mother's passing in a variety of ways—sometimes heartfelt, sometimes bizarre. As a potential thunderstorm threatens to damage the city, the situation compounds itself.
