Set on the anniversary of their mother's passing, sisters Esther and Christina grapple with their past and each other over a neglected bottle of champagne. The atmosphere oscillates between lighthearted banter and heavy emotional weight, creating an engaging yet reflective tone. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing moments of silence to hang in the air, emphasizing the sisters’ hesitations. The performances are raw, capturing the nuances of familial tension without feeling overly dramatized. What's distinctive here is the way the film uses the mundane—like a bottle of champagne—as a metaphor for unresolved issues, forcing the characters to confront both their mother's legacy and their fractured bond.
