Description
Three sisters who haven’t spoken to each other in fifteen years must come together to settle their mother’s estate. She’s left behind cryptic instructions for her daughters to stay at her cottage on the Florida beach and look for her final wishes hidden in a closet full of unlabeled videotapes.
Barely restraining their dislike of each other, Essie Bunny, Sharon Claus, and Hannah Horseman search through the videotapes which show their childhood, bringing back happy memories of when they got along. They must band together against two unscrupulous businesspeople who want their mother’s cottage at any price. Their ensuing arguments and grudges start to fade as they learn about the mysterious powers of the grandfather clock they thought was broken.
Come along on this fantasy tale of the daughters of Father Time and their remarkable families as they seek the message their mother left behind and save her cottage from the grasp of those who want to tear it down.
