Experiencing Interruptions?

Duet

While her mother suffers through the final stages of terminal pancreatic cancer, cello teacher Chung Yi spends her days commuting back and forth between music lessons and hospital visits. One day, in the absence of a caretaker, Chung Yi is left to change her mother’s diaper and clean up her excrement. Tensions explode in a perfect storm of inner panic as the mother grapples with a loss of dignity in front of her daughter, while Chung Yi searches for the strength to provide for her dying mother’s needs.
