This was a sad short film showing the struggle a teenager must face taking care of her wheelchair bound mother with MS and trying to be a normal girl. It's pretty well shot and the acting is realistic.

Laptop backlash poses particular difficulties for people without offices, says Leah Meyerhoff, 29, a film director and free-lancer. She long has used coffee shops to interview cast and crew and to work on pre-production. Now, she says, “it’s a constant search for places with the Internet where I can sit and focus without being frowned upon.”
