Quinn (Vic­to­ria Sey­mour) and her younger sis­ter Bam­bi (Han­nah Botha) are on a road trip to their mother’s funer­al. They haven’t seen each oth­er since Quinn left home sud­den­ly 10 years ago. On the way they stop in a remote part of the Waika­to to pick up their oth­er sis­ter Mo (Lydia Buck­ley-Gor­man). Quinn doesn’t know what sort of woman Mo has become, and Bam­bi hasn’t seen her for a while either. Trapped togeth­er on the long car ride the women play games, sing songs, and share sto­ries about their moth­er that may have been bet­ter left alone…

Tabitha Arthur directs a won­der­ful­ly dark script by Jess Say­er that comes com­plete with mys­tery and a grow­ing sense of dread. Sey­mour plays the sis­ter who left first with a lay­er of guilt under the awk­ward snip­pi­ness of her char­ac­ter. Botha brings a core of deter­mi­na­tion to her flaky Bam­bi while Buck­ley-Gor­man is star­tling as the youngest sis­ter try­ing to recon­nect with her sis­ters while hav­ing an agen­da of her own.
