The Wake of Light is a romantic drama about Mary (played by Rome Brooks), a young woman grappling between the deep-felt responsibility in caring for her aging father and their broken down farm and her newfound feelings for Cole, a charismatic young man (played by Matt Bush) passing through town on the way to see the Grand Salt Flats in Utah, who falls for her and asks her to join him on his journey.

This movie is very timely for me as I am taking care of an aging parent. It really conveys the challenges, rewards and truth that comes with this kind of relationship. I loved the lead character so much and how devoted she is to caring for her father. No spoilers: but when she meets the young man she really has an impossible choice to make. Worth seeing!
