The Mouth Agape
Drama
Monique is dying of cancer, lying in bed in the apartment above the store her family owns. Her philandering husband carries on with life, her son remains aloof, and her daughter-in-law wonders if she is witnessing her own decline. They all struggle to express, or feel, their love for one another.
VIBE
A quiet, devastating portrait of a family grappling with terminal illness. It feels like watching unspoken words hang heavy in the air, a profound exploration of love and loss in its most intimate, unvarnished form.
