Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This was Steve Stockman's only feature film; he spent years in commercial editing before making this deeply personal project about his own mother's death.
The film deliberately avoids a deathbed reconciliation—Anita never gets 'wise' or sentimental, which is rare and brutally honest.
