Old Irma is sick. Her two daughters and granddaughter take the road to go see her in Sagres, Portugal. Laughter, arguments and heartbreaks: what constitutes a family? Nilo (Bahar Pars) is a feminist writer, living an orderly life with her husband and 13-year-old daughter Laura (Nadja Rosenberg). When her irresponsible sister Maya (Zhala), whose projects constantly tend to bomb, both “kidnaps” Nilo’s Volvo and daughter and heads south, Nilo tags along. The goal of the trip is Portugal, where the sisters’ complicated mother (Susan Taslimi) recently diagnosed with cancer lives, together with Maya’s son, who it has finally become time to take responsibility for.
