Becca is on her third 'major' at university and can't bring herself to finish (any of them). When she finally tries to find a topic for her graduation thesis by taking a job as a teacher assistant, she meets Emily who has lost her mother. Through Emily she also learns to know her father Nate. Becca also lost her mother when she was young and finally a theme for her theses comes to her.
A good film that deals with losing one's mother early.
