Family Saga
Maxine has been losing things lately. Her car in the shopping centre carpark. Important work files-and her job as a result. Her marbles? 'Mild cognitive impairment', according to the doctor. Time for a nursing home, according to her daughter, Rose.
Rose has her own troubles with memory- a recurring vision of a locked cupboard, claustrophobic panic.
Back in that house by the beach, Maxine and Rose try to find their bearings. But they can't move forward without dealing with the past-and the past has a few more surprises in store.
