US Premiere • Relationship Drama

When Jules appears at Cecelia’s house after twenty five years of estrangement to help her renovate it, the two must navigate the web of narratives they’ve told themselves and each other. As father and daughter reconnect, they find it hard once they start to discuss the truth of their pasts, finding it easier to escape into fairytales. The truth about both of them and their past twist and turn just like the fairytales they tell.
