In a sleepy fishing village, four brothers with a turbulent relationship share a dilapidated house, their lives filled with conflict and resentment. The arrival of a new woman into their orbit acts as a catalyst for change. Her presence, along with tensions with their neighbors, forces the brothers to confront their emotional baggage and the reasons for their fractured bonds. The story explores themes of masculinity, love, and family as each brother grapples with his own shortcomings and the possibility of redemption, all set against the backdrop of the beautiful but strained village.
