Judy (Shirley Henderson) is struggling with Parkinson's disease which leaves her shaking constantly. She and her husband have their sensitive son Jamie (Théodore Pellerin) caring for them. Jamie gets a job in the oil & gas fields and moves away from home. Both mother and son struggle in their own isolation.
This is a tender, quiet film of internal personal drama. Shirley Henderson delivers a powerful performance. Pellerin has a troubled sensitive feel about him and he's very good in his half of the movie. New filmmaker Kathleen Hepburn is steady without anything flashy but it is Shirley who truly shines.
