Movie Haiku:Vanetia (Peake) is an Irish woman with 2 young children. Her husband has been disabled by a stroke & she is beginning to fray. Into this mix comes an American neuropsychologist, not to help but to "observe." Vanetia wants to hold it all together--for the sake of her family as well as herself--but what happens if she stops believing in recovery? Excellent character study.
