01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
A man who had a stroke 20 years ago is left incapacitated and bed-ridden. He has been cared for by his daughter Bessie in their Florida home, and totally ignored by his other daughter, Lee, who moved to Ohio with her husband 20 years ago and has never contacted her family. Now, however, Bessie's doctor has informed her that she has leukemia and needs a bone marrow Organ transplant As Bessie progressively seems to get worse, Lee comes to terms that it is now her turn to take care of her family. The film closes on Lee familiarizing herself with her father’s medication, as she walks into his room with his lunch, overlooking Bessie flashing the mirror that makes Marvin smile.
