— About the Film —
A bold coming-of-rage story.
Joy is an undocumented Filipina immigrant who is struggling to do the best she can for her daughter when she secures the perfect job: taking care of an extremely wealthy but terminally ill old man. The new position pays well and guarantees a roof over their heads but very soon, Joy and her daughter Grace start to realize everything is not as it seems. Something is festering beneath the surface, threatening all they have worked for. Deeply personal, RAGING GRACE is a nightmarish fever dream from an exciting new voice.
