A film many people will probably be able to relate to. Pauline finds herself without a caretaker after her sister Martha dies. Now it's up to her other two sisters to either provide her with the care she needs or institutionalize her. Also, there will be monetary consequences for whatever decision they make.
This movie addresses its subject matter very well, exposing the threat of loneliness and need for self-denial which will surely grip the life of anyone who takes in a family member who will be totally dependent on them, and mentally handicapped. The two sisters whose lives are thrown into a state of upheaval prove they are not as ill-intentioned as it first seems, and you will most likely come to sympathize with them. The acting is excellent all around.
***Possible spoiler follows*** The only thing that I didn't like much was the open-ended conclusion. I believe the production team could have made this movie a bit longer than its eighty minutes and left the viewer much more satisfied. Perhaps, though, this was done purposely to make one think of what one would do in a similar situation.
I recommend this movie. An extra bonus are the scenes in which flowers abound, and Paulette's quaint shop were a good part of the film takes place.
