In Phnom Penh, Sinoun rushes her half-paralyzed husband to the hospital after a stroke, facing fear, medical bills, and the return of her estranged eldest son, Tola. Her younger son, Arun, soon joins them, deepening family tension. As the father stabilizes, life worsens: Tola struggles at school and in his father's workshop, Arun faces bullying, and Sinoun discovers her husband's infidelity, leading to divorce. Months later, Tola works in Kampot and avoids returning home. Back in the city, Sinoun and Arun face theft, corruption, and the loss of their apartment. Through hardship, the brothers grow closer and face an uncertain future.
