Plots(1)
Through the five shorts named after each title character -- Lucy, Eddie, Allison, Grace and Maggie -- powerful relationships built on hope and triumph raise a new understanding of what happens when a loved one struggles with mental illness.
"Lucy" follows the film's title character, a law student who finds herself amidst the horror of schizophrenia, landing her in an institution where, through the support of a new friend, meds and her psychotherapist, she begins her path to not only healing, but a promising future.
"Grace" explores bipolar disorder through the experience of a teenage daughter whose mother grapples with the condition.
"Allison" weaves together comedy and family drama in a story about healing when its eldest daughter Lucy returns home from inpatient treatment and spoils her sister Allison's unveiling of her new boyfriend to their parents.
"Eddie" delves into the world of depression as seen through the eyes of a comedian's wife as she grapples with understanding how her husband Eddie, whom is so loved, can be so withdrawn and overcome with sadness.
In "Maggie" a female veteran returns home from war to her son and father, only to have her life shattered by the onset of posttraumatic stress disorder, through which her lawyer, Lucy, helps her.
