For 64 years, 92-year-old Mimi has cared for her daughter Dona, who has an intellectual disability. This poignant, heartbreaking and, at times, humorous documentary traces the process of Mimi grappling with the notion that she will not outlive her daughter. The film spotlights the challenges of aging caregivers of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and details the ripple effects it has on three generations of a Texas family.

“Heart-wrenching. The film is as unflinching as it is beautiful, chronicling difficult decision-making that comes to involve the whole extended family.” —The New York Times
