Synopsis
After years of solitary Christmas Eves, Suzie brings food to the parents she believes are working overtime. Instead, she sees them arriving at a luxury hotel with another young man they openly cherish.
Their easy dismissal of the daughter left at home reveals how much of the family’s supposed hardship has been a performance. The encounter leads her to stop seeking affection from people who have treated her loneliness as normal.
