As the youngest among my five sisters, I am aware that I carry a dark legacy from their past. In response to a tragic incident that was kept quiet, my sisters formed a clan with a tight-knit bond from which our mother was excluded. Thus, we began referring to her as “your mother,” as if she was no longer ours. You are about to hear what she has to say for the very first time.

In conversations with one another, the sisters speak of “your” mother rather than “my” mother. But through its many suspended moments, the film becomes a tool for redemption, when Yuma finally becomes “my” mother for Samira and her sisters.
