* Closing Night Film
Sarah leaves her exciting life as an activist and artist in 90s San Francisco to return to the small, conservative hometown she fled when Alzheimer’s begins to erode her mother’s vibrant personality. Forced to grow up quickly, she juggles a new relationship, long-held career ambitions, and an eccentric family she literally follows to Mexico and back in a last-ditch effort to make them take the situation seriously. Confronting a disorienting reality she can’t control, Sarah must find her footing - learning to accept her mother’s decline and the imperfect beauty of her family - in order to become the daughter they need.
