A dark comedy about inheritance, resentment, and the complicated business of family.
“How does the love we are given - or denied - growing up shape who we become?”
Following the death of Andrew Bennett, five estranged siblings reunite in the Essex countryside to settle their father’s will. What begins as a straightforward discussion of inheritance quickly unravels into a chaotic reckoning with the past. Old rivalries resurface, long-held grievances spill out, and buried secrets begin to surface. As the siblings confront the legacy their father left behind, the fragile structures holding the family together begin to crack, revealing both the absurdity and the heartbreak at the centre of family life.
