Father Mother Sister Brother

Three adult siblings and their distant parents form the core of this dramedy. In the United States, a reclusive father receives a visit from his grown children, who try to bridge years of silence with quiet humor and awkward honesty. In Dublin, two sisters go to see their mysterious novelist mother, hoping to understand the life she written and the distance that separated them. In Paris, a pair of twins are summoned back to their shared apartment to confront a family tragedy that tests loyalties and memories. Across distinct locales, the film threads together conversations, silences, and small acts that reveal how family bonds endure despite distance and time.

Directed by Jim Jarmusch and released in 2025, the film features Tom Waits, Adam Driver, Mayim Bialik, Charlotte Rampling and Cate Blanchett in a multinational ensemble. It appears to be an original screenplay.

Critically, the film invites viewers to observe how adult children renegotiate closeness with parents while reckoning with memory and regret. It weaves humor and melancholy through cross continental settings, highlighting how artful dialogue, silence, and presence can redefine familial ties without resolving every conflict.
