I don't want to go into extravagant detail as the other comments are fairly thorough.
I want to add to the pool of comments that if you happen to have had to care for a mentally ill, depressed, bipolar, etc, etc mother while you were a young child and adolescent, be forewarned. This is a beautiful and affecting film but hits waaaaaaay too close to home for anyone who had a life like mine, a milder version of the movie. I don't know how I sat through the whole thing. I lost it by the time it was over.
The description of the movie in the AFI Dallas Fest program made it sound like a civil rights struggle with a romantic triangle thrown in. That doesn't even begin to describe what this film is about.
Anyway, bring a lot of tissues.
