Under pressure from work, and at an impasse in life, Matina returns to her family home where she is confronted with the grief she sought to repress. This delicately and minimally rendered film serves as a lyrical reflection on loss and homecoming.

Doctors’ appointments, bus trips and buying milk are an uphill battle for Matthew and his anxious inner monologue in this warm comedy about trying to get better.
