Mothers & Daughters
A story about caregiving, aging, sacrifice, and the complicated ways we love the people who once cared for us.
When love becomes care.
Mothers & Daughters explores the emotional reality of caring for an aging parent and the difficult choices families face when the roles between parent and child begin to reverse.
At its heart, it is a story about love: imperfect, demanding, enduring love.

Notes from the Filmmakers
“Caregiving became my world for more than a decade. Every day, caregivers give up pieces of themselves without hesitation or regret. I wrote Mothers & Daughters so that caregivers—especially the women sandwiched between children and aging parents—feel seen and know that the love they give is enough.”
Nicole Schiro, Writer
"Having watched my own parents navigate eldercare and dementia, directing this script felt deeply personal. It’s a sincere, realistic drama about the quiet heartbreak of caring for an aging parent. I hope viewers walk away with a deeper empathy for those stepping into the caregiver role."
Ted Magee, Director
