After a breakup with her boyfriend, a young woman moves in with her older brother, his wife, and their 2-year-old son.
Sinekatalog’s take
A young woman moves in with her brother's family and stirs up the household. It is improvised, low-key and rather aimless. Pleasant if you like mumblecore holiday small talk.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
