Siblings Victor (he/they) and Alexandra (she/they) return to Romania for a wedding. Victor documents their family’s history of rug weaving and discovers that even tapestry can become a debate about gender, tradition, and resistance. The two share the same values, but they have different approaches. Only confronted by the hostility of other villagers they come to question the importance of queer unity.
