Three sets of adult siblings return to their childhood homes – a rundown cabin in New Jersey, a tidy terraced house in Dublin, a Parisian apartment – and each encounter unfolds in Jarmusch's characteristically deadpan style. In "Father," Adam Driver and Mayim Bialik play dutiful children visiting their estranged father, faithfully portrayed by Tom Waits. "Mother" follows two differently attuned sisters – Cate Blanchett and Vicky Krieps – through a tense tea visit with their ever-judgemental mother in Dublin. In "Sister Brother," twins sort through the remnants of their deceased parents' lives, uncovering stories they never knew. Meditative, drily comic, and haunted by mortality – Father Mother Sister Brother is a quiet reflection on the lifelong task of trying to truly know the people closest to us.
