In the years since his daughter Vanessa moved to America to become a professor of philosophy, Alan Querry has never been to visit.

Over the course of six wintry days in upstate New York, the family begins to struggle with questions: Why do some people find living so much harder than others? Is happiness a skill that might be learned or a cruel accident of birth? -- adapted from jacket.
