Queen at Sea

Synopsis

Amanda and her stepfather, Martin, struggle with a moral issue that divides them. Has Amanda’s mother, Leslie, who is suffering from advanced dementia, lost the ability to make critical decisions in her own best interests? And, if so, who is responsible – a spouse, a child, an institution – for making such a determination? As Amanda and Martin are forced to make increasingly difficult choices, the repercussions spiral out of their control.
