A vibrant Pixar-inspired montage (think the marriage sequence in Up) in which a mother, unable to confront the heartbreak of her son leaving for college, delays his departure by making him sick. Unfortunately, she goes too far, is helpless to reverse what she set in motion, and is forced to face the unfathomable consequences of her selfishness.
