Two sisters, left to fend for themselves at home, create their own fantasy world in which they find comfort amidst their loneliness. Neglected by their parents and surrounded by the chaos of everyday life, the sisters Juli and Luca grow up together. When Juli takes her little sister with her to another party, Luca loses their mother’s old stuffed animal on the way. Suddenly, emotions rise to the surface that both sisters have long suppressed.
