It’s Tona’s 27th birthday and the extended family gather in the family’s rambling home to celebrate. But as it will likely be his last, it is also a farewell ceremony. Miscommunication, chaos, evasion and fear all come into play as Sol, Tona’s young daughter, tries to make sense of the adults’ evasive language and erratic behaviour. The result is a profoundly humane ensemble piece where humour is present in even the most painful of circumstances.
A dazzling, vibrant child's-eye view of jubilation and tragedy
