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.
