Plot[]
Miles Warner returns home after his morning walk. His son, Sebastian, is preparing for school while his wife, Bronwyn, is about to leave for work. However, she is held up because Sebastian’s caretaker, Sylvia, has not arrived. While the husband and wife discuss the situation, Miles receives a phone call. The couple learns that Sylvia is dead. As a result, Bronwyn is forced to drop Sebastian to school. However, Sebastian keeps enquiring about Sylvia. Meanwhile, Miles receives a mysterious envelope addressed to Sylvia.
Later in the evening, Miles and Bronwyn decide to break the news of Sylvia’s death to Sebastian. They explain that Sylvia is now in a better place, and there will be a funeral where her loved ones will bid farewell to her. Miles and Bronwyn contemplate whether they should take Sebastian to Sylvia’s funeral. They decide that it will be a learning experience for the child and take him to Sylvia’s funeral. They arrive at Sylvia’s community comprising immigrants from Trinidad and Tobago.
During the funeral, the Warners learn more about Sylvia’s past as a dancer, her dedication to her work as a caregiver, and her family. A group of dancers gives a tribute to Sylvia through a performance. However, the performance is interrupted by Sylvia’s daughter, who blames her mother for not being there for her during her childhood because she was busy taking care of other children. As tempers and voices rise in the church, Sebastian gets scared, and his parents decide to take him home.
In the end, the Warners return home after Sylvia’s funeral. After putting Sebastian to bed, Miles and Bronwyn discuss Sylvia’s influence on their son. Bronwyn worries that taking Sebastian to Sylvia’s funeral might have been the wrong decision. She fears that after growing up, Sebastian will grow up to resent his parents for not being present during his childhood. However, Miles assures Bronwyn that they did the right thing by taking their son to the funeral.
In the final moments, someone knocks on the family’s door. When Miles opens the door, he finds another package addressed to Sylvia on the doorstep. Miles opens the envelope and finds pictures of Sylvia and Sebastian from the school’s family day. Sylvia softly sings a lullaby for Sebastian.
