Ungone

Eve is attempting to come to terms with her ageing mother, who has dementia and lives in a care home, and employs Erin, a total stranger, to visit the home and pretend to be her. The act has profound consequences, as all three women begin a process of doing, undoing and redoing, with complicated and ultimately necessary truths revealed about each of their lives.

Ungone tells the story of a single decision——a deceptively simple thing——through which the fractured, multi-layered nature of identity and the self is both revealed and interrogated.
