35 year-old Joanna is a total nut. She’s also an artist and new mom. But she's not making any art and she's terrible at taking care of her newborn. Worse, her husband fancies himself to be a mothering expert. Desperate for some company, Joanna tumbles into an unlikely friendship with her estranged aunt Miriam, a reclusive theatre actress. Miriam seems the perfect companion for Joanna -- she's artsy, honest, eccentric, and she hates babies. But all goes haywire when Joanna tries to mother her aunt instead of her baby. Another Happy Day is a tender and tense comedy exploring postpartum depression, intergenerational friendship, and what it means to be family.
