Life is hardest when our demons are family. Guilt, regret, lasting memories of things one wishes they've somehow done better, but probably couldn't have. Donnelly has crafted a hard episode, but a strong one with wonderful major parts for two women. Part of me wanted more, much more of their story, but on reflection, this was more than plenty. It may not be the most uplifting of shorts, but it deserves a place at seasonal festivals.
