The Bigger Picture

‘The Bigger Picture’ is an animated film about two brothers struggling to care for their elderly mother. Jovial, loving Richard flees as soon as anything practical needs to be done; dutiful Nick does everything he can for his mother while seething with resentment; and Mother is not going to make it easy for either of them. With wit and warmth, we see the brothers endeavor to deal with a situation that one day faces all of us – what shall we do with our parents?
