"Her young daughter, an off-camera vortex of need, is suffering from a mysterious illness for which Linda blames herself. She has a stressful job as a therapist, and when an epic plumbing mishap blows a massive hole in the ceiling of her home, flooding her floors, pushing her and her daughter into a dingy motel, Linda's left to handle it on her own because her husband, who is away working, is little more than an unhelpful voice over the phone."
"We made the movie in 27 days. It was not a luxurious situation. And I'm a filmmaker who believes that the tougher the material, the more pleasant the set has to be because if I'm asking my performers to really go there, to get into that place emotionally, then when I call cut, it's got to be hugs and giggles..."
