Synopsis

Seniors Atifah, Mel, and Rita live together on a ship and routinely share breakfast. This time, their morning meal takes on a different tone as they prepare to celebrate the birthday of El Tigre, the goldfish, for the first time since the passing of beloved resident, Leviy. While getting ready for the festivities, they discover a void left by Leviy’s departure, and grapple with the challenge of coping with her loss—a void that cannot be filled with blueberry muffins alone, but by an unknown guest who steps in to help mend their emotional wounds.
