Working Summer (2024)
Deborah lives alone in Upstate New York, where she spends her days weaving baskets, gardening, and chatting with her young neighbor Jerry. When Deborah's daughter Nora stops by unannounced, she is taken aback to discover the fullness of her mother's life. The film subverts the trope of a parent losing a sense of purpose when their child leaves the nest. "Working Summer" is about a parent leaving the nest, and a child who must come to terms with it.
