Synopsis:
Iris Trimble is trying to hold it all together. She may very well fly off the face of the earth if she doesnt hang on to the kitchen counter. At least thats how she feels after her mother, Bernice, a lively, recently widowed 55-year-old breaks the news that she has early onset Alzheimers. In an effort to cope with the stress, Iris makes her mothers famous Everything-That-Is-Bad-For-You casserole, a childhood favourite. Her siblings, on the other hand, are on opposite sides of the spectrum: Sara, the eldest, irately calls for a second opinion, while Peter, the youngest, seems completely unfazed. As for Bernice, shes still as vivacious as ever, always up for a good laugh and, most of all, ready to finally put herself first. The Gravitational Pull of Bernice Trimble is about the tricky nature of family dynamics and the effects of mental illness seen through the eyes of a young woman whos searching for her own feelings amidst the whirlwind emotions of her family.
