Claudia, a product demonstrator in her twenties, meets ailing matriarch Martha in a hospital room when she is admitted for appendicitis. Martha is an HIV-positive mother of four with an endless lust for life; Claudia has been on her own her entire life. The two women quickly bond and when it comes time to leave, Martha invites Claudia to come stay with her family. Reluctant at first, Martha’s family eventually gives new meaning to Claudia’s life and as Martha gets sicker with each passing day, Claudia’s bond with her children grows stronger.
