FILM INFO

After their mother’s death, Alona (19) tries to get Lia (11), her sister, out of a locked bathroom stall in the cemetery where she has confined herself. Alona is rushing to catch her flight back to London, but the closed door between them reveals a deeper barrier that forces both of them to grow up and meet each other, perhaps for the first time.
