Everything Is Fine

Mazzy's mother refuses to get out of bed. Nonetheless, when Mazzy answers phone calls from her father, she tells him everything is fine. Her father knows as well as Mazzy that this is a lie, but he avoids the situation by working at an out-of-state job. A social worker and some curious neighbors also suspect there's trouble at Mazzy's house, though Mazzy does her best to care for herself and her mother. As Mazzy copes with her situation by drawing and painting, she also recalls the terrible incident that led to her mother's depression. Black-and-white images.
