Synopsis of the movie: Grieving the loss of her best friend and roommate of 12 years, Eleanor Morgenstein, 94, (June Squibb) moves in with her daughter (Jessica Hecht) in NYC. Due to a mix-up, Eleanor joins a group that meets regularly in the JCC where, in an attempt to belong, she assumes the holocaust family story of her late best friend. This false persona is discovered and revealed by her daughter to the embarrassment of her family, the hurt to her new friends at the JCC, and the betrayal of NYU student, Nina (Erin Kellyman) who has become a close friend and confident, while including Eleanor’s holocaust story in a paper for her journalism class. This is further complicated by the public reporting of her story on the local tv news by Nina’s newscaster father (Chiwetel Ejiofar), who is also grieving the death of his wife and needing to better understand that grief and that of his daughter.

Concessions not included.
