Film Synopsis

Sixteen-year-old Tjarg is exhausted by his younger brother Eik's grief, which has begun to overtake their shared home. To hold onto the memory of their recently deceased mother, Eik fills the apartment with handmade paper kites, small and large, until they become inescapable. When the tension between the brothers breaks into open conflict, Tjarg attempts to clear space for his own feelings in the only way he knows how.
