Christina is the mother of three daughters: Margaret who has a history of violence, the soon-to-be mother of twins Louise and 10 year-old Marion. After a violent dispute with her mother, Margaret is sentenced with a restraining order and can’t approach less than a 100 meters away. Marion is then charged by Christina to paint a line representing this limit around their home which only exacerbates Margaret’s desire to be closer to her family. By coming to the line everyday, her stubbornness will emphasize all the conflicts of this dysfunctional family.
