Watch our interview with Melissa D'Agostino HERE

In order for Liza to cope with the impending death of her estranged mother, she retreats to a 70's variety show in her mind where the all-powerful host is her own mother, Rosa (Wendie Malik), who leads a cast of people from Liza's past and present, all a jumble in her mind.

After a lifetime of Rosa making everything in Liza's life about Rosa, Liza decided she needed to put up a boundary and go no contact. Rosa hasn't seen her daughter in 2 years.

Rosa appears as the host of a 70s variety show in Liza's head with all the bravado and pizazz of Phyllis Diller, Bea Arthur, and Rosemary Clooney. She sings, and dances, and yuks it up, all in Liza's imagination; the moments of their lives play out in sketches and song since they can't seem to connect at all in reality without the conversation blowing up or falling apart.

In real life, Rosa sits in a long-term care home while her estranged daughter decides if she will visit after two years of separation. She feels betrayed by Liza and abandoned by the world. Her body is failing her, though her mind is still intact, and she is headed for palliative care. No matter how she tries, she can't seem to connect with her daughter or understand why they are at an impasse.

Scene by scene, song by song, Liza works through another part of their past in an attempt to see her mother in real life without losing herself in the process.
