When 75-year-old hotel housekeeper Rebecca Danigelis is fired from her lifelong job, her son, filmmaker Sian-Pierre, takes here on an unforgettable, bucket-list adventure, to help her reclaim her life.

When 75-year-old hotel housekeeper Rebecca Danigelis is fired from her lifelong job, her identity (as well as her financial security) starts to crumble around her. It falls to her son, journalist and filmmaker Sian-Pierre, to help her reclaim her life. As Rebecca struggles to find a new job, Sian-Pierre takes her on an unforgettable bucket-list adventure, through which she rediscovers herself after a lifetime of looking after others.

Sian-Pierre and Rebecca’s story has connected with people around the world, resonating with a generation facing the possibility of financial insecurity in old age, and as a son’s tribute to his one-of-a-kind mother.
