What is Father Mother Sister Brother all about

Father Mother Sister Brother is a comedy-drama anthology with unique stories subtly coinciding with each other. The film is vaguely divided into three stories from three different countries. The first story depicts the story of an old and flaky father, who is very distant and keeps emphasizing his poor livelihood to gain sympathy. Jeff and Emily, who are his children, come to visit him and unravel their lifelong grief about their father's ignorant behavior.

The second story revolves around a renowned and wealthy novelist mother, who hosts an annual tea gathering where she invites both of her daughters. One is totally different from the other one. Timothea is chic and on the other hand, Lilith is extravagant and unconventional. The film shadows the unnatural nice gestures and satires on the formal, superficial conversations.

The third story portrays the story of twins who reside separately but gather at their parents' house to pay their last respects. Their parents died in a horrific crash. As they reunited, they found out many secrets, like unpaid house bills, many fake IDs and marriage certificates. This mystery makes them go through their memories together and relive the grief.

The three stories coincide subtly with recurring attributes like a Rolex watch, use of the expression "Bob's your uncle", numerous appearances of young skateboarders, and more. Whether all stories are connected or just fragments of coincidence is what the movie is about.
