SYNOPSIS
In this sharp dark comedy, an inmate receives a one-day furlough from prison to attend her mother's funeral, only to discover her mother hired an actor to deliver an exaggerated eulogy of the life she wished she lived. A biting exploration of family expectations, self-deception, and the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.
