Synopsis

Drawn back into her fractured family, Ema's childhood voice resurfaces on an old cassette, guiding her through memory, grief, and an unexpected sense of belonging.

After their father’s death, three estranged sisters reunite to sell the family home. Ema (36) clings to the past through old cassette recordings of conversations with their mother. Middle sister Megi (44) begins chemotherapy and hides her illness from her children. As memory blurs with the present, Ema struggles with the lie and begins to unravel. She breaks her sister’s trust, and only then understands she was never misplaced within her family, only late to belong.
