Diane spends her days checking in on sick friends, volunteering at a soup kitchen, and trying valiantly to save her troubled, drug-addicted adult son from himself. But beneath her relentless routine of self-sacrifice, Diane is fighting a desperate internal battle, haunted by a past she can’t forget.

Renowned film critic Kent Jones made his fiction debut with this portrait of a selfless woman whose unwavering service to others hides a lifelong secret. Played by a heart-rending Mary Kay Place, and focusing on small everyday moments, Diane is a subtle, stirring reflection on ageing and mortality.
