Somewhere in a countryside town in the United States, Jeff and Emily drive in a snowy road to a reunion with their estranged and reclusive father. While Emily has no idea how he has enough money to survive without social security following the passing of their mother, Jeff appears to be secretly supporting his father. Further concerned with his loneliness, Jeff brings a box full of expensive groceries. The father appears to hide his real financial state, displaying an old car in the house entrance and messing the house on purpose, until Emily spots a Rolex, although he pretends it’s a fake replica. Seeming not to care about their lives, he forgets about Jeff’s recent divorce. After their departure, the father cleans the house and drives in his actual functional car to meet a friend nearby.

Somewhere in Dublin, an elderly famous writer awaits her annual tea gathering with her two daughters, Timothea and Lilith. The reunion marks the only day in the year they actually see each other, although they all live in Dublin. Timothea’s car malfunctions on the way, and in despair she tries to contact the insurance, but drives to her mother’s home to avoid being late. Lilith asks her friend, Jeanette, to pretend she is an uber driver, avoiding further explanations of her financial state to her mother and sister. During the tea, the mother inquires about their lives, and after some hesitation Timothea announces that she has been promoted to a new position on the city’s council for preservation of historic buildings, but is interrupted by Lilith, who announces she also has good news about the new “influencers” of her community, although neither her mother or her sister appears to know what an influencer is. Lilith is spotted with a Rolex, but insists it’s a fake replica. In the bathroom, Timothea appears to be overwhelmed by emotion. As the tea ends, Lilith asks her mother to call an uber and the trio waits for the car in silence by the front door.

Somewhere in Paris, Skye and her brother Billy reunite following the passing of their parents in a plane crash in Azores, and, while driving to their old home, they try to reconnect through memories. At the now empty apartment, Billy shares with Skye old photos, drawings of their childhood, and an old Rolex of their father’s, as well as multiple fake IDs and a fake marriage certificate. The landlord, Madame Gautier, interrupts them, revealing that she personally prevented the insurance company from seizing their parents belongs, even though they died owing three months of rent. Driving through Paris once again, they head to a warehouse, taking a final look at their parents’ old furniture.
