In a forest, three elderly sisters are playing hide-and-seek. As the play goes on, time starts to lose its linearity, and past selves merge with present ones. What follows is an odyssey through dreams and memories. A hallucinatory exploration of time and collective imagination.
“A rare example of a film that confidently combines a raw but well-defined style with a heartfelt, playful story that is not only universally relatable but can expand the viewer’s understanding of their place in the world and their immediate surroundings.”
