Gifts

Rachel is obsessively searching for the perfect gift for her demanding mother Margret's upcoming milestone birthday. As they scour the shops in the charming Old Town neighborhood, Rachel rejects every option, leaving her frustrated and revealing her strained relationship with her mother. In a flashback, we see a rare tender moment when Rachel thoughtfully gifts her boyfriend a special tea mug.

Rachel confides that as a child, Margret pushed her into piano lessons and performances to impress clients, stripping away Rachel's love for music. Hoping to bridge the gap, Rachel's boyfriend takes her to a college theater and records her vulnerably playing the piano - reclaiming a piece of herself from her childhood.
