They spent much of their lives taking care of us, now it's our turn. The filmmaker shares her complex and devastatingly tender journey caring for her long-divorced aging parents -- her mother Elaine, who abandoned the family and left then 19-year-old Michelle to help raise her 5 younger siblings and is now faced with dementia, and her father Morris, once a brilliant Aerospace Engineer and now a hoarder unable to navigate his own world. A diverse mix of other families are woven in, each with their own unique challenges.
