Glen is a photographer whose present world is collapsing. In the past, his mother Cath is in her favourite solitary place questioning her future. In that future Ken, Glen's elderly father, lives alone save for the sparrows he is at war with. He is visited regularly by his pregnant daughter Sissy. Theirs is a feisty relationship, full of the habits and old scars of the past and the resentments and regrets of the present. When Ken unexpectedly and uncharacteristically disappears, Sissy, who is experiencing marital problems herself, calls a reluctant Glen back to the family home. The past, the present and the possibilities of the future collide in this elegiac story of age, loss, love and the search for some kind of redemption.
