Description
Summary:The film follows 21-year-old Maple, the sole caretaker of her family after her parents' deaths and her grandmother Ahma's onset of dementia. When her 10-year-old brother Dodo is running late for his school play, and her aunt is unable to take care of Ahma for the day, Maple decides to bring Ahma along with them. The journey is made difficult by Dodo’s clunky tree costume, which Maple carries on her back. The film follows their journey to school, the unexpected detours and a painful realisation of one's limitations as a caretaker.
