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.
