At its heart is the clash between a young woman\u2019s ambitions and the fears of a mother who, drawing on her own past, tries to protect her. When the family is confronted with a serious illness, underlying tensions and unresolved emotions come to the surface.<\/p>\n<p>The way the film came to be is also remarkable.
