As the world changes, a family navigates the complexities of growing up, aging, and the ebb and flow of love, loss, and resilience. In a cozy Brooklyn brownstone, the facade of domestic happiness begins to crumble. Dan and Isabel, a troubled couple, find themselves both drawn to Isabel’s younger brother, Robbie, a free spirit living in the attic. As Robbie grapples with heartbreak and an online persona, his impending departure threatens to fracture the family. Meanwhile, ten-year-old Nathan takes tentative steps toward independence, while five-year-old Violet tries to ignore the widening chasm between her parents. As the world enters lockdown in 2020, the brownstone feels more like a prison. Violet becomes fixated on safety, fearing the outside world, while Nathan pushes against her rules. Isabel and Dan communicate through thinly veiled frustrations, and Robbie finds himself isolated in Iceland, alone with his thoughts and a secret online life. By 2021, as the family emerges from the crisis, they confront a transformed reality, reflecting on their losses and what they’ve learned. This poignant narrative explores the intricacies of love, loss, and the challenges of family life, revealing how to coexist both together and apart.
