An exhausted author single-handedly balances writing a novel, with 24/7 caregiving for her terminally ill parent all while her older siblings offer only misguided opinions, a complete lack of understanding & zero actual help. An exceptional tale of how allowing others' chosen beliefs to interfere can rob oneself of living a full & joy filled life. Completely relatable no matter what tribe you are, which religion you believe in or where you live. They share the tragedy of daily life experiences, when a relative is terminal & everybody's "busy" lives are interrupted by death of the patriarch. Enjoyable movie on a difficult topic: relatives.
