David, a struggling comedy writer fresh off from breaking up with his boyfriend, moves from New York City to Sacramento to help his sick mother. Living with his conservative father and much-younger sisters for the first time in ten years, he feels like a stranger in his childhood home. As his mother’s health declines, David frantically tries to extract meaning from this horrible experience and convince everyone (including himself) that he's "doing okay.”
VIBE
This film feels like a quiet, uncomfortable reunion with your past. It's a tender, often funny, exploration of familial obligation and the messy reality of caring for a dying parent, all wrapped in a deeply personal, indie sensibility.
