Take Me Home

Liz Sargent’s intimate and emotionally captivating debut draws on her real-life experiences to enlighten the struggle of Korean-American sisters navigating a complex web of caregiving needs and the structural challenges faced by disabled people.

Anna (played by the director’s sister Anna Sargent) is a 38-year-old woman with cognitive disabilities who looks after her ageing adoptive parents. A Florida heatwave disturbs the delicate balance of their lives and her sister Emily comes to help.

"There isn’t a predictable or hackneyed exchange in the drama, which understands not just the immense challenges its characters face but also the throwaway humor that can be essential to a family’s connective tissue." — Sheri Linden, The Hollywood Reporter
