Lucy seeks enlightenment. The former child actress makes a pilgrimage to join her guru, Elon Bello, for a silent retreat at a beautiful mountain resort with a Tesla-crammed parking lot. Before she shuts off her phone to the world, Lucy reaches out to her daughter, Dylan - a stunt person training for a dangerous fight scene - to announce that she will be unavailable, and that she is very worried about her, and that she might extend her stay. It is co-dependent, bad behavior.

Filmmaker Alice Englert draws engaging performances from this impressive cast headed by Jennifer Connelly, in what is an intelligent, incisive and funny first feature film.
