Dani, a twenty-five year old child of divorce, returns home to help her father move out of what used to be their family house. As she packs up her childhood bedroom, reminiscing on saddling herself with packed bags and moving her life week by week, she thinks about a time when her parents must have been more in love than ever- their wedding day. Taken back into the 90's, Dani experiences her parent's special day through the eyes of the donkey that carried her mother to the altar. As Dani sees her mother and father through a new perspective, she has a newfound understanding of their individuality and an appreciation for the vast love that originally created her, however broken it may be back in present day.
