A contemplative family portrait that excavates the emotional undercurrents beneath a summer holiday, exploring guilt, desire, and the painful passage into adulthood.

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.
