If I Forget

A liberal professor, Lou Fischer, reunites with his two sisters, Sharon and Ellen, in the final months before 9/11 to celebrate their father's 75th birthday, bringing with them different versions of family history and clashing over the past, as secrets and long-held resentments surface. The three siblings negotiate their relationships with biting humor and razor-sharp insight, weighing the past against the prospect of a new beginning. Characterized by its biting humor and nuanced exploration of family dynamics, the film is a powerful exploration of the hurt that can come from those closest to us.
