Joe Maggio, Director
2008 | 91 min
Writer-director Joe Maggio (Virgil Bliss) and actor Jeannine Kaspar create an insightful, insular portrait of a single mother who loses custody of her six-year-old child after depression prompts a suicide attempt. Released from psychiatric care, Sam (Kaspar) moves in with her rigid older sister Ed (Sayra Player). However this arrangement may not be the healthiest for either sibling. Subtle, well-observed and "quietly involving" (Variety), this is the first in a planned ten-film series inspired in part by Krystof Kieslowski's "Decalogue".
