It is 1946. Recently repatriated Paula is trying to feel at home in Friesland after her experiences in a Japanese internment camp. She is taken in by family she has never met before. Her presence is tolerated, but not fully accepted. Suspicion grows among the family when, since her arrival at the potato farm, brown rot is found on one of the potatoes.

In this tragicomedy, three adult sisters and their brother come to the farm of their estranged, deceased mother to divide the inheritance. To their surprise, that includes a flock of sheep. The sisters and brother have drifted apart but it turns out that too is part of their mother's legacy.
