Juniper (15)

Robert spirits his belligerent mother Ruth from England to New Zealand to convalesce, where he can keep an eye on her with the help of a nurse, Sarah. He also hopes the stubborn and irascible matriarch might be company for his troubled teenage son Sam, who is struggling to deal with the death of his mother. The boy has been expelled from boarding school and is primed to self-destruct. Sam shares a dark outlook on life with Ruth and they form an unexpectedly tender bond.
