A profound journey of reconciliation and the search for belonging lies at the heart of this intimate drama from director Andrea Pallaoro. Trace Lysette delivers a powerful performance as Monica, a trans woman who returns to her Midwestern family home after a long absence, drawn back by news of her mother’s Patricia Clarkson declining health. The reunion is fraught with the weight of years of estrangement and unspoken history, as Monica navigates the complex dynamics with her mother, her brother Joshua Close, and his wife Emily Browning. As she steps into a house filled with memories and ghosts, Monica must confront the past while caring for a parent who may not fully recognize the person she has become. This emotionally resonant film, anchored by nuanced performances from Adriana Barraza and the supporting cast, paints a quiet yet deeply moving portrait of a family grappling with time, identity, and the fragile possibility of forgiveness.
