Synopsis

Ava remembers her childhood home as a place full of amazing things and adventures. The day she returns home from university, however, everything changes: what used to be an exciting playground has become an oppressive box, and her mother’s things and fear of letting go overwhelm their home and their relationship.
By dipping into memories and sharing a moment in time, can mother and daughter reach an understanding?
