“Writer-director Christopher Piazza’s heartfelt drama captures the tragic onset of early Alzheimer’s disease in one woman’s life, as well as its ripple effects on family dynamics, her autonomy and her future… the heart and soul of the story is lead actress Michelle Hurst — known recently for “Orange Is the New Black” — who offers a heartbreaking portrayal of a vital, lively woman in the throes of early dementia as Pearl.”
