In My Parents' Basement 2002

Directed by Maureen Judge

Three adult children have returned to their parents' home to live. Future dreams, past failures, and the present struggles of daily life are captured in close-up over a nine-month period. Through conversations, anecdotes, arguments, and unpredictable emotional highs and lows, it sheds light on the myriad of issues triggered by adult children moving back in with their parents - a growing phenomenon in today's society. As the documentary unfolds, it becomes painfully clear that being a parent or a child is a lifelong calling that requires patience, compassion, and strength.
