剧情介绍
This is a powerful and exquisitely-shot autobiographical portrait of loyalty, broken dreams and redemption told by its director - reluctantly-dutiful daughter Karen, who takes you under the skin of the household she returns to for this long goodbye.
Karen's mother Ann suffers a devastating stroke that brings her daughter back home when she least expects it. But Karen isn't the only one who returns to help care for Ann in the crisis: Her prodigal father Ian - endearing and unfathomable - and who's been separated from Ann for years, also reappears. Armed with her camera, Karen seizes this last chance to go under the skin of the family story before it's too late, to come to terms with the aftermath of the secret her father had tried - and failed - to keep from them all, and to find that Ann's stroke has in fact thrown them all a life raft.
With candour, warmth and much unexpected humour, Karen’s role as family confidante, busybody, therapist and spy illuminates this extraordinary story of contemporary family survival.

纪录片两大忌,一是无止境的对个人感情絮絮叨叨(再配煽情音乐更是负分),二是拍社会运动时不可遏制的要表达自己的社会责任感(尤其是台湾那些人真是呵呵)。这俩在我心里都是low中之low。有潜力的题材碰上这两类导演无一不扑街。
