WORLD PREMIERE Amid the opioid crisis in their small New Hampshire town, Lydia O’Leary and her family open their home to those recovering from addiction. As Lydia’s altruism grows, her children assess their unconventional home life while yearning for a normal adolescence. Emboldened by the camera, the children open up about hardships, including negotiating physical and emotional spaces with adult roommates. Diane Tsai’s feature debut sensitively captures a complicated balance of community, independence, and a family’s love – Kim Garcia

This screening will be followed by a Q&A with Director Diane Tsai and Co-Producer Paul Moakley
