Summary: Beverly McIver was enjoying a skyrocketing career as a painter when a casual yet life-changing promise made to her mother Ethel years earlier--to take care of her mentally disabled sister Renee--came due. This film chronicles Beverly's promise to raise her sister, a 43-year-old woman who functions at the level of a third-grader, and the way it transforms her life at a time when she had hoped to focus on her career and finding a life partner. A deeply intimate view of a unique family of women and the power of art, the film unfolds with humor, drama and unexpected twists. (TV14) (AL,V)
