The siblings, Enzo and Magda, have drifted apart. In an attempt to reconnect, Magda invites her brother on a weekend trip to Helsinki. Over the course of a weekend, the sibling pair encounters a series of peculiar characters and faces situations that call for discussions about life, art, and existence. Memories blend with the present, and dreams and reality merge for the two travelers adrift in the atmospheric city of Helsinki.
