McColl seeks the answer to a question that has haunted her for years: Can you explain what people mean when they say, You are just like your mother? Her memories reveal her late mother, Allison, as a woman of endless charm and infinite love for her unruly brood of red-headed children. When Allison is diagnosed with cancer, McColl drops everything to return to the family farmhouse to tend to her mother in the best way she knows how-- by sweating over elaborate meals in the hopes of nourishing her back to health. In doing so, she boldly confronts her own identity as a woman. -- adapted from jacket |
