The Missed (2022)

The Missed centers on a small family-a single mother and her two kids-and the unfortunate aftermath of unacknowledged mental health issues, primarily depression. It touches on how unresolved trauma could shift the natural course of events within a household for the worse, and oftentimes affect those whom we least expect to succumb to the pain. In this case, we see the family age in front of us, repeating their routine dinners in a neighborhood diner with little to no conversation. With every passing year, they become increasingly glum and the mother weak. There is undoubtedly an elephant in the room, but will they acknowledge it before it's too late?
