Synopsis

Jasna, a Croatian ex-pat, returns to her hometown to take care of her dying mother. But even when lying bedridden, her mother's immobile body still radiates daunting authority over those who surround her. As days go by, Jasna gets tangled in the web of grudges that she was desperately trying to escape. Will she finally confront her mother or lose herself in her smothering embrace?
