Description

In contemporary Hanoi, three sisters discuss their parents' relationship as they plan a memorial banquet on the anniversary of their mother's death. Yet a man named Toan from their mother's past casts a shadow on their idealized image. After the banquet, the calm exteriors of the sisters' lives give way to more turbulent truths. Eldest sister Suong (Nguyen Nhu Quynh) resumes an affair when her husband (Chu Hung) works out of town. Middle sister Khanh (Le Khanh) is married to Kien (Tran Manh Cuong), who goes to Saigon to research Toan and is tempted by a mysterious woman in a luxury hotel. Meanwhile youngest sister Lien (Tran Nu Yên-Khê) is convinced she is pregnant. As the sisters approach the anniversary of their father’s death, they reveal their secrets, discovering some surprises in the process.
