Description

Having lived abroad for many years, Rosie decides that it's time to return to Dublin to look after her ageing aunt, Min. While flicking through some self-help books looking for ways to distract Min, Rosie decides to write an inspirational book for people over 50. When Rosie travels to New York to see her publisher, Min follows her. Suddenly, the roles are reversed - Min is energised by her new surroundings and has no desire to return to Ireland, while Rosie begins to crave a connection to her roots.
