1968. The world is on fire and calling for freedom. Authority must bend; everything must change. The same applies to the Wander family, a family living under the grip of a secret. While the eldest daughter Carla wants an abortion, her brother Max is overwhelmed by feelings for a man during the student uprisings in Paris. In the family home in Eindhoven, Suus (16) tries to hold on while their parents seem locked in a frozen relationship. The youngest, Frans (6), seems to keep the family somewhat together.

1972. It turns out that mother Rosalie has had a tumor in her head for two years, which she has never told anyone about. It could be over at any moment and that puts all relationships within the family on edge. After the initial shock, the unspoken accusations and long-held secrets slowly surface. Will the family be able to reconcile with each other before Rosalie's death?
