It's Mother's Day, and the three adult sons gather at their childhood home to celebrate their mother.

Bror has suffered memory loss after a bicycle accident, and Syster is tasked with recounting their shared childhood—car trips with their mother to historical battlefields. But Syster is lying.

An author speaks out to stand apart, to remember those murdered in Gaza. He hadn't planned to say anything, but he does anyway, because it's worse not to try to say something.

Three dancers and a whole lot of cars! The little car has lost the map and drives around and around in the roundabout. The junk car makes strange noises and needs to be towed.
