A melancholic, introspective portrait of an upper-class family fractured by generational conflict and emotional distance, anchored in the quiet despair of a neglected wife and the clash between tradition and progress.

Set during World War II, an upper-class family begins to fall apart due to the conservative nature of the patriarch and the progressive values of his children.
