I wanted to explore the complex yet fragile relationship of a once happy family, now torn apart because of a tragedy - which could happen to anyone - that was caused by one of the heads of the family. I wanted to show the thin line between love and mercy, how the parents wish that nothing like this had ever happened. At the same time they cannot look each other straight in the eye and cannot establish a trustworthy relationship. This of course is the reason the father and daughters don't see each other for over a year and at such a young age, the girls experienced this whole trauma for themselves and through the eyes of their devastated mother, which caused total alienation between them. This film chronicles their first day together after the tragedy.
