Synopsis:

Storyline: When June, a mid-career director and actress, makes a personal film about an incident that changed her relationship with her mother, she is unexpectedly challenged by Tess, the young actress playing her younger self. Upon upending the film's production with a rash decision, she quickly has to reconcile how the past still lives inside her in order to have perspective on it – and not repeat it.
