The news of her mother Catherine’s death brings Lola home to her transphobic father, Phillipe. Together, and with great reluctance, the warring father and daughter embark on a stormy road trip toward a beach house by the North Sea, where the family spent fractious holidays and where they hope to scatter Catherine’s ashes.

The tension between the two feels so real and believable that you’d be forgiven for thinking they were actually daughter and father.
