Christina is the puerile mother of three daughters: Margaret, Louise and 10- year-old Marion. After a violent dispute with her mother, Margaret is sentenced with a restraining order and can’t approach less than 100 meters away. She is also charged by Christina to paint a line representing this limit around their home which only exacerbates Margaret’s desire to be closer to her family. By coming to the line every day, Margaret’s stubbornness will emphasize all the conflicts within this dysfunctional family
