Unfinished encapsulates the struggles of a young woman’s mental illness as seen through the lens of her mother. Over a series of hospitalizations the mother’s frustrating inquiry to understand and untangle the conundrum of her daughter’s mental health condition unfolds. The filmmaker-mother critically examines home videos filmed by her during her daughter’s first episode that unravels the family’s genetic archive.  She fears that her past films may be a foreshadow of their lived experience.
