The synopsis of this movie states that a college student struggles with mental illness when her mother is struck with cancer. This is all true, but I dare say that the movie works best in another theme. While the focus of the movie is the daughter with mental illness, all three siblings struggle with the same affliction: they aren’t adults. The world revolves around them, just as it does with any other teenager struggling to grow up.

Movie title: The Year Between
Movie description: Inspired by true events, college sophomore Clemence Miller is coming home to the suburbs and a bedroom in her family's basement. After dropping out of school with a newly diagnosed mental illness, she now faces the challenges of bipolar disorder, the responsibilities of adulthood, and her damaged relationships with family and friends. Clemence struggles to figure out what it means to heal without driving everyone around her… well, crazy. As if reckoning with everything and everyone she has taken for granted wasn’t enough, Clemence has to wrestle with the thought that on top of it all, she might also just have a really bad personality.
