logline / short synopsis
After the recent loss of their father, two sisters, aged 7 and 10,
assume all duties and responsibilities upon themselves while their
mother is in deep mourning. During a long day and night, we follow the
two girls’ clash with the world of grown–ups. Their task is to collect
whatever’s remained behind their father. On this journey, they
encounter different people, not all of whom are equally sensitive and
benevolent. They realise that it is only together that they can claim
whatever is rightfully theirs and thus preserve the memory of their
father. Through this process, they have to grow up faster but they
never cease to be what they really are – children, with ultimate
freedom in their soul.
