Filmmaker's note

When Stephen Brown brought me the wonderful script he wrote, I was struck by the very special mother/son relationship at its center. Yes, Peter's mother can be overbearing and never fails to humiliate her son, but her actions are motivated by a deep and unconditional love. Most surprising is Peter's closeness to his mother, despite all her flaws, and the openness in their relationship. Call it symbiotic, co-dependent or dysfunctional -- somehow it works.

Maybe based on a true story.
