Call Me Back

The subtlety of memory and grief is studied in this heartfelt exploration of a bereaved older woman. Grace (Lindsay Duncan), returns home from the funeral of her husband, George (Jim Broadbent), accompanied by her daughter, Lucy (Sophia Myles). Mother and daughter clash, leading Grace to attempt to mourn in isolation. Confronted by memories of happier times, she begins the process of cleansing the house - and herself - of the medical paraphernalia of the sick man she nursed. Ignoring phone calls from her daughter, she chaotically extends the purge of George's earthly manifestations beyond what she can bear. Faced with her error, she has a choice to make - to either continue on her destructive path, or reach out to her daughter for help.
