Two sisters, Laura and Jayne, come back to the house they grew up in, while their senescent father Joe in his seventy and something years old needs care. This movement becomes of great importance for both the sisters and returns them into their memories of being two young girls. Staying at their father’s place, Laura and Jayne face many problems, both concerning their dad and their own imperfect life. Nevertheless Joe tries to enjoy his life at full. He continues playing his prize guitar and even has a relationship with a barefaced and presumptuous woman called Shelly. The interests and opinions of two sisters often conflict, as they have contrary viewpoints on their dad’s condition. So, Laura considers her father to be under constant care, while her sister is of another opinion. Besides the aging father, they both have troubles, concerning their own families and duties connected with them. Laura has three kids to care of and a hard work of environmentalist. Jayne’ attempts to become a mother seem to be useless. Still, their coming back to a place of birth becomes a real adventure. On the one hand it is full of troubles, chaos and pain, on the other - it is not without magic, such as searching for buried treasures. The end promises Laura and Jayne tears, but these are the happy ones.
