The constant ricocheting between hopelessness and optimism continues to contaminate the ordinariness of the everyday. Barretto focuses on the aftermath of her father having been diagnosed with Depression and Bipolar disorder some years prior. In the early years her mother had taken on the role of being the primary caregiver and thereby also taken on the burden of shielding others in the family from the fallout of this illness. But now having grown up, the responsibility of caring is expected to be shifted on to the daughter, the only other woman in the family.
