Nineteen-year-old Elena takes a job as a live-in aide for an elderly woman, and moves in with the woman, her son, and his wife. Elena adjusts to life with the dysfunctional family, but things are thrown into further disarray when the couple's son moves back into the home as well.

What are critics saying?
Silver locates the ordinary madness bubbling just beneath the surface of his own life, and flickers of lunacy abound.
The Playlist by Christopher Bell
A layered and hilarious look at the dynamics of family, relationships, and need.
The New York Times by Jeannette Catsoulis
Using mostly amateur performers and improvised dialogue, Mr. Silver has created a profoundly awkward riff on dysfunction that’s uneventful but not unrewarding.
The Hollywood Reporter by Neil Young
[A] claustrophobically discomfiting but quizzically comic study of social unease and embarrassment.
