A quiet, uneasy coming-of-age story that simmers with a daughter's struggle to break free from her mother's grip.

Until now, Anna has lived a rootless life with her mother, who, in pursuit of new experiences with different men, has left a trail of failed relationships around the world. Over the years, the two have built a dysfunctional symbiosis where Eva's dominant behavior has turned Anna into a pleaser towards her mother.
