Synopsis:
On a seemingly normal evening, we meet Thelma Cates (Mama), an aging mother
and widow who lives with her daughter, Jessie. Jessie is the divorced
mother of a hoodlum son, who - unsatisfied and depressed - struggles with
life as an unemployed epileptic. On this night, Jessie comes into the room
asking her mother about the whereabouts of her father’s old revolver. When
Jessie finds it in the attic, she confesses to her mother that she is going
to kill herself. Tonight. At first, Mama laughs it off, thinking Jessie is
just making a sick joke. But, as Jessie makes her way around the house,
organizing, making lists, and teaching Mama her responsibilities, it soon
becomes clear that it is not. As Mama pleads for Jessie to reconsider her
decision, old secrets are revealed and long-ignored feelings rise to the
surface. The mother-daughter bond between Jessie and Mama becomes stronger
and lovelier than ever, making it possible for Jessie to end her noisy,
cluttered existence, and enter a quieter, calmer life with closure and love.
