Acclaimed director Mike Lee returns to the modern world with a brutal, compassionate and often darkly humorous exploration of family and the difficult bonds that bind us. Reuniting with Lee for the first time since the Oscar-nominated Secrets and Lies, the stunning Marianne Jean-Baptiste plays Pansy, a fear-stricken, heartbroken woman who can lash out at her husband, her son, and everyone she sees. her path Meanwhile, her good-natured younger sister, played by Michelle Austin (“The Second Year”), a single mother, whose life is as different as Pansy’s contradictory nature: her salon is filled with the common warmth of clients and daughters. This extensive film by an experienced playwright takes us to the depths of kinship, debt and human mystery: despite a lifetime filled with pain and deprivation, we still find ways to love those we call family.
