Excellent documentary about the truth behind the director's parents marriage. After his mother suddenly dies he starts reading diaries she wrote in the 60s and 70s. I actually felt incredibly sad for her. I have read stories and published diaries of other women who married in the 50s and 60s and so many of these women were frustrated. They were expected to keep a perfect home, be a perfect mother and wife but never be an individual apart from that. They married men who expected them to cook, clean, take care of the children and that was it. Even women with college degrees Sat at home watching their life go by while their husbands lived and spent time with women who had jobs and seemed more interesting. It was a sad and lonely time for married women. I wish his mother would have found fulfillment before she died. But many women of her generation did not.
