That's Why Mums Go to Switzerland

Three generations of pissed-off women living together under one roof, and a trip to Dignitas

A middle-aged woman sheepishly turns to her recently bereaved mother: “We’ll move in with you, if you like” (Thinking she’ll refuse. She doesn’t).
 
A raw, sharply funny look at a family in chaos. A marriage breakdown, teenage upheaval, dependency, love (“whatever that is”), a mother loudly preparing for the end, and “the joys of becoming a bad mother and a bad daughter at exactly the same time”.
 
An exploration of assisted dying within modern family dynamics.
