Over a three-year period, this intimate film balances the honest emotions and real concerns of five diverse families as they navigate a new and often sudden terrain ¡ª that of caregiving. From early uncertainties to the realities of daily care (emotional frustrations, financial obstacles, and lifestyle changes), the film captures these families in the throes of caregiving ¡ª laying bare both the rewards and the challenges. The film also shares insights from the persons living with dementia, as well as, the children and spouses who are impacted by changes to the family unit.
