My Mother's Keeper

My Mother's Keeper moves fluidly back and forth between 1914
and the present, taking place within the memories of four
generations of women in a show business family. Looking through
the lens of the mother-daughter dynamic, My Mother's Keeper is
an examination of our matriarchal inheritance, with all its inherent
and inherited blessings and curses. It is a moving, sometimes
very funny, sometimes disturbing, ultimately healing work.
