Four adult siblings reunite in their childhood home to prepare it for sale. An Oxfordshire mansion filled with nooks and crannies, antique furniture, curios and esoteric collections, it housed a story-book childhood of fabulous fantasies and hidden ogres.
As their own children watch on, the siblings sort through the clutter and excavate the memories of their late parents – an exacting scientist mother and a dragon-obsessed art-historian father. Dutch filmmaker Suzanne Raes gorgeously renders the very English location of this country home, creating a disarmingly tender rumination on parent-child relationships.
As they work through a process that many of us have or will one day face, the siblings consider what objects, enchantments and remnants of childhood they will choose to keep and what they can leave behind.
