DIRECTING INTENTION

This film is about a middle-aged woman who stands at the cross roads of religious conviction and cold reality. Also, it's about the affection under current in three generations from a grandmother, her daughter and to her granddaughter. I would like to express a process of their growth through family conflicts and reconciliations concerning a suspension of the grandmother's life support machine.
