Turmoil unfolds when Grace returns to her home at the Green Gulch Zen Center and tries to adjust to a life where her partner is now her primary caretaker as well as their daughter’s (who was born with cerebral palsy.) However — humor, patience, and mutual respect are all key components that help the women renegotiate their roles as they show audiences how strong families can be.

Opening night is Grace’s birthday; she and her family will be in attendance with the filmmakers at 7 p.m. that Friday, as well as on Sunday at 4:15 p.m. Guests are encouraged to join and hear from all of them in the post-screening Q&A.
