The film tells the story of a middle-aged Swiss man named Rolf who returns to his hometown after a long absence to attend his father's funeral. As he reconnects with his past and tries to come to terms with his father's death, Rolf is forced to confront unresolved issues from his childhood and grapple with the challenges of growing older.
