Bookends

Nate is an excitable millennial novelist forced to leave his fabulous city life behind and move in with his grandparents after a bad breakup. But when his Holocaust-surviving grandfather Saul shows signs of cognitive decline and his grandmother Miriam refuses to acknowledge her husband’s early signs of dementia, Nate finds himself torn between his desire to escape retirement community life, family responsibilities, and an unexpected romance with his grandparents’ doctor.

Directed by Mike Doyle
