See all the cast

A mother and her gifted complex daughter meet a couple of women in crisis. The three adults become friends and try to assist the girl in finding her
sense of purpose. But each of these sentinels reveals different aspirations for happiness and the child slips away from them.

Love comes in many shades as this story addresses many topics of current interest: the patterns inherited from living together, the bitter reconciliation of desire and responsibility, the challenges of being to the world exchanging with one another, the ills of disparity.
