Life is fluid, ever changing and uncertain as time physically and mentally taunts us, washing away the memories we create with those we love. Patience and Absurdity shows the synchronized interaction of a mother and daughter as they move through life together, leading and following, enriching each others experiences and sharing stories of a life well lived. We see that it takes a great deal of loving patience to be kind and selfless in caring for family. Sylvia and Sylvia reveal that anxiety and grief, joy and humorous absurdity reside in the middle of the difficulty.
