Summary

This witty look at mother-daughter relationships is a light hearted exploration of irritations and misunderstandings that build walls between a woman and her female offspring -- and the love and compassion that breaks down these walls. The crisis and humor of childhood, adolescence, adulthood and old age are evoked in a celebration of dissonance and the harmony between mothers and daughters. With the light touch of fantasy, it touches some of our deepest emotions.
