Who
of us ever really knows our parents, asks the filmmaker at the outset...
She documents her parents at the end of their lives as they lie next
to each other in adjoining hospital beds, like two Becket
characters, immobilized by sickness.
Seeking to
make sense of their marriage, she explores her father's
contradictory personality, his relationship to his family and his
love affairs.
In the
end, her father is her mother's chief caretaker, keeping her
alive and giving her the attention she always wanted.
And the
filmmaker, the oldest daughter, has a conversation with her
father that she would never have had if not for the mediation of
the camera.
