A prophecy prompts an ageing grandmother to embark on a nine-temple pilgrimage with her children and grandchildren over one sunlit day. Moving with an unhurried rhythm, the film reveals the quiet textures of intergenerational bonds through fleeting conversations and gestures of care. Thailand’s luminous landscape and monumental temples, along with the family van, become shared spaces where the sacred and the everyday meet.
