Overview
Estranged siblings reunite after years apart, forced to confront unresolved tensions and reevaluate their strained relationships with their emotionally distant parents.
I thought that this was an interesting way to not necessary tell a story, but to demonstrate themes that are universal in relationships (I think a lot of people missed this point). The three stories all had similar themes, but the context shifted from one story to the next. The device tired a bit in the third story, but I thought the effort was unique. In a weird way it reminded me a bit of Woody Allen’s Melinda and Melinda.
