Synopsis

A story of searching for lost maternal ties. Three daughters fear a mother they don`t understand. Despite the longing, deep in their hearts, for her love, for openness and friendship, they fail to become closer to her. They don`t understand why she couldn`t love all of them. As a prototypical domineering woman, she preferred to select just one girl as a temporary toy, then soon tossed her aside. The daughters also fail to understand their mother`s dissatisfaction with her own life. They know nothing of her unfulfilled desires for her career, of her indifference to her husband, of her secret love for a younger man. Then mom falls suddenly and seriously ill. Hearing the news, her girls return to the old family house after many years.
