We are thrilled to be able to show “After All” a movie directed by Killington’s own Kerstin Karlhuber on May 20th at 1:00 pm. Kerstin will be joining us for questions after the movie.
When Ellen returns home to care for her estranged, ailing mother and the teenage daughter she left behind, she is caught between the weight of the past and the demands of the present. As her headstrong mother, Verna, declines and deeply buried family secrets resurface, Ellen must face painful truths she has long avoided. Meanwhile, her daughter, Haley, struggles with school and the unraveling stability of home, leaving Ellen torn between two generations in need. In this heartfelt story, three generations of women confront old wounds and discover joy in one another as they redefine what it means to be family.
