Synopsis
Niki, a doctor living and working in Munich, arrives at his father's dilapidated country house just before his father passes away. In that brief moment, his father fails to give him the belated acknowledgment or words of affection he has been longing for. Shortly after his father dies, Niki's other siblings arrive at the house including extrovert and idealistic drifter Vito, and much younger sister Mizzi who suffers from a neuro-physical disorder, However, they are all stunned by the arrival of their sister Kyra who was the produce of their father's heady days of free love and who vanished twenty-three years ago during their parents' separation. Eight-year-old Kyra and her mother left the family home shortly after their father's then girlfriend had given birth to Mizzi. Kyra now discovers her very existence was kept from the new-born half-sister right up until the present. Despite feeling hurt by this revelation, Kyra stays for the funeral, and the brothers and sisters find themselves unearthing the roots of their childhood memories they had suppressed in order to survive.
