Also featuring Samira Wiley, Sarah Silverman, Wanda Sykes, Bowen Yang, Pamela Adlon, and Fern Grandin, the film centers on Sarah, who leaves her exciting life as an activist and artist in 1990s San Francisco to return to the small, conservative hometown she fled when Alzheimer’s disease began to erode her mother’s vibrant personality.

Faced with a confusing reality she can’t control, Sarah must find her place—and learn to accept her mother’s decline and her family’s imperfect beauty—in order to become the daughter they need. The newly released clip, which you can watch below, shows the harrowing first moments the family learns of the diagnosis.
