Alli and Jacob raise their young children in a New York apartment. Alli feels worn down by parenting, little sleep, and changes in her body. When a young couple moves across the street, Alli and Jacob watch them and imagine they have a freer, happier life. The quiet story moves from awkward humor to sadness when the young man becomes very ill. Alli complains about work and parenting while she feeds the baby and cares for their children. The film shows strain in her marriage, and Jacob also cares for the children. The young neighbor says she and her sick husband found comfort in watching Alli's family. Those words help Alli see her own home and family, which she had taken for granted, in a warmer way.
