But how do we live with these secrets locked within us? How do we tie our shoes, brush our hair, drink coffee, wash the dishes, and go to sleep, pretending everything is fine? How do we laugh and feel happiness despite the buried things growing inside? How can we do that day after day?



— About the struggles of a poor immigrant family, and the consequences of secrets kept and expectations placed on the children. The main character is very unlikable, but very very relatable.
