Berry's bitterness toward her dad has her pushing him away, even when she doesn't want to. On a trip to South Africa to attend a memorial ceremony for her murdered older sister, Berry and her dad are unable to comfort each other in this painful situation, and simple conversations turn into minefields. Most affecting is the dead-on portrayal of someone watching herself stuck in a pattern of behavior she abhors.
