Om den här filmen

Mary Goes Round is a redemptive drama with dark comedic undertones. Mary is
a substance abuse counsellor with a drinking problem. After a drunk driving
accident, she loses her license, her job and boyfriend. At the request of her
estranged father Walt, Mary begrudgingly retreats to her hometown of Niagara
Falls. With few other options, Mary is forced to come to terms with her estranged
father who wants her to connect her with teen-aged half-sister, Robyn, whose
mother walked out on the family. Robyn has no idea who Mary is. Or at least, she
pretends not to.

As her sympathy for Robyn deepens, her outrage at Walt’s request diminishes.
At an AA meeting, Mary meets Lou, a personal care worker who offers support
and friendship. Walt is hospitalized. Robyn starts to self-destruct and Lou falls
from her heroic pedestal. To keep this fractured unit together, Mary must confront
her emotions, her demons and her addiction. She, Robyn, Walt and Lou must all
learn what ‘family’ means.
