Happy Place
“Welcome to the zoo,” Samira (Clark Backo) is advised as she’s admitted to an in-patient care facility in the wake of a suicide attempt. As she slowly familiarizes herself with her fellow residents and their idiosyncratic traits – be it foul-mouthed Mildred (Mary Walsh), hyper-competitive Joyce (Sheila McCarthy) or highly vulnerable Nina (Liisa Repo-Martell) – a makeshift community takes shape. But if a sense of solace is ever to be achieved, Samira must face the demons that have left her with PTSD.
