Description

Teenager Finn and his mother rush to visit his ailing grandmother, who’s been placed in a soulless long-term care home on the opposite side of the country. When Finn’s mother steps away momentarily, he discovers his grandmother’s silent suffering. In an awkward moment, Finn musters the courage to express empathy and concern, initiating a conversation. As the crisis unfolds, his grandmother, in desperate pleas, implores Finn to assist her in ending her pain and suffering. With his mother’s return imminent, Finn faces a gut-wrenching decision: obey his mother’s wishes or fulfill his grandmother’s final request. The climatic action occurs as he struggles with this life-altering choice, shaping not only his relationship with his grandmother but also revealing the complex dynamics of love, compassion, and mortality within the family
