Anna, a middle-aged Korean adoptee with a cognitive disability, cares for her aging parents in a fragile balance of mutual dependence. She and her family face challenging questions about the future, but Anna is determined to build a life where they can all thrive.
Expanded from the acclaimed short, this intimate drama lays bare the indignities of the American health care system and the barriers people with disabilities face. Both quietly devastating and optimistic, the film imaginatively traces a path for Anna’s independence and connection to a community of chosen family. The film confronts us with an impossible situation while holding out hope for what’s ahead for Anna.
