A claustrophobic found-footage exploration of fractured sibling reconnection, where a documentary premise masks uncomfortable power dynamics and unresolved family trauma.

After several years without contact, Martijn visits his sister Daantje, who just started to live on her own in Amsterdam. He tells her he is going to make a documentary from her life, and enters her home life with a video camera.
