Nora and her sisters return to their hometown for Christmas carrying the loss of their father and the distance that has grown between them. A final scavenger hunt he prepared draws them through familiar places, reviving a childhood tradition built around the family’s wishing bell. The search creates space for conversations they have postponed and hopes they have not quite admitted. For Nora, reconnecting with Maizy introduces a romantic possibility alongside the work of reconnecting with her sisters. This holiday ensemble follows three women finding different ways forward, giving one sister’s sapphic relationship a place within a larger story about grief, family memory and beginning again.
