Yuna’s parents separated when she was young. Her mother returned to Japan to remarry and start a new family, leaving her in Belgium with her father. Years later, a sudden accident leaves him in a coma, prompting her mother’s return, this time with a half-sister Yuna barely knows. It’s more than Yuna can handle at first, but as her father shows signs of recovery, she is forced to confront her own feelings and navigate the complex times of her fractured family.
