About RESURRECTION

The unexplained death of a young woman triggers a series of relentless changes in a family and tears it apart. As relationships unravel and secrets emerge, the mother, her two sons, and an incongruous daughter-in-law, unable to cope with new realities, find themselves trapped in an infernal cycle of denial and loneliness.
