Three siblings agree to meet and settle what happens to their aging father, and the practical business of it lasts roughly as long as the first cup of coffee. What follows is a chamber piece assembled out of bickering, banter and grudges that have been quietly maturing for decades, the kind of family story where the item on the agenda is never the real subject. At seventy-eight minutes it stays lean and conversational, trusting the sting of familiar voices over any large dramatic swing.

It suits viewers who enjoy talky, close-quarters family drama where affection and irritation arrive as the same gesture. The pace is brisk and the register slides easily between funny and bruising, so expect laughs that land a little too close to home. Anyone who has sat through a sibling negotiation that curdled into an argument about childhood will recognise the shape of it immediately. A short, sharp watch for an evening when you want something human-scaled rather than sprawling.
