Three sisters come together before their mother’s funeral, each haunted by their own demons. The three each have different memories of the same events, causing constant bickering about whose memories are true. Teresa is an unhappy housewife, who runs a health food supplement store with her husband Frank. Mary is a doctor, troubled by visions of her dead mother, whose five-year affair with Mike, a married doctor, is starting to show strain. The youngest daughter Catherine is permanently trying to catch her sisters’ attention and feels left out, as she did in childhood. As the three women get together after years of separation, the age old tradition of recollecting family stories, bound by love, laughter, anger, and tears remains the centre of this bittersweet, life affirming comedy written by Shelagh Stephenson.
