Julia Louis-Dreyfus gives a profoundly moving performance as the mother of a terminally ill teenage daughter confronted by Death in the form of an astonishing talking bird.

Devastated by the loss of a child, middle-aged father Dan (Keith Kupferer) struggles to control his anger at work and grows distant from his grief-stricken family. When a stranger (Dolly De Leon, Triangle of Sadness) bullies him into joining a floundering community theater production of Romeo and Juliet, Dan slowly begins to reopen to life’s possibilities. With breakout performances from the real-life Kupferer family in the lead roles and a cathartic ending for the ages, this funny and bittersweet film celebrates the profound love at the heart of the deepest grief, and the pleasures of putting on a show.
