In the garden, the table is set. Lunch is ready. Esther is waiting for her children. It’s been years since the last time they were all together, but today she's finally managed to get them all to agree to come. But in the oppressive summer heat, the clock is ticking. Some are late, others simply don't show up at all. So Esther fills the silence with the stories of their past. The stories of her family. Her never-ending life's work.
