David, a struggling comedy writer fresh off from breaking up with his boyfriend, moves from New York City to Sacramento to help his sick mother. Living with his conservative father and much-younger sisters for the first time in ten years, he feels like a stranger in his childhood home. As his mother's health declines, David frantically tries to extract meaning from this horrible experience and convince everyone (including himself) that he's "doing okay." (Sundance Film Festival)
