A brief guide to not talking with your own mother/daughter

The relationship between mother and daughter is an endless source of expectations and demands, pressure and support, unanswered questions, grievances, dreams, disappointments and - more or less - shameful stories. In Hindi Brooks's play, two people closest to each other, yet paradoxically almost strangers, decide to use a shared holiday to explore this peculiar bond and the limits of their own assumptions.

A carefree holiday setting transforms into a laboratory where every emotion is subjected to careful analysis - sometimes comic, sometimes deeply painful.
