Some people dare to reach their hand into the dark, to bring another hand into the light...

Based on a true story, My Mom and the Girl is a heart-warming, uplifting film that gives an unexpected and joyous look at Alzheimer's, diversity and caring.

The story is based on an odd encounter that an East Coast woman (4-time Emmy winner, Valerie Harper) has one night on the capricious streets of East L.A. The former singer, now suffering from Alzheimer's, escapes after a dinner party to find her way home. With her watchful caregiver, Irlanda (Liz Torres), in tow, their brief but colorful sojourn leads to an encounter with "The Girl" (Harmony Santana), a wild character with an unexpected narrative.

With a hint of danger to the proceedings, their urban adventure evolves into a funny, poignant and transformative event. One that proves to have a profoundly positive effect on three very disparate - desperate - women linked arm in arm by empathy.
