What happens in Goodbye June?

Set during the winter holiday, it is about a father and four adult children dealing with their individual issues and the emotional turbulence brought about by the sudden illness of their mother.

The film tells the story of the family members who have been separated by the mere fact that they lived in different places and harbored grudges against each other, and now, by the turn of events, they are forced to reunite under the same roof.

In the turmoil and emotional strain that ensues, each one of them faces the issues they had buried deep inside their hearts, which, as a result, brings out the humor and heartbreak that being together in a time of loss is what actually happens to families.

The movie title is the name of the mother, June, whose sickness and her calm manner of dealing with the end of her life swiftly become the center of the story.
