- So,
we have the house all to ourselves Mrs Mitchell.
- Do we Mr Mitchell?
- Yes we do.
- What are we
waiting for?
Come with me.
- Magnus have you seen my garden magazine
and my sunblock?
Mother what are you doing here?
- What does it look like I'm doing, I'm having breakfast
with my Son-in-law and why are you down here
in that little ratty get up?
- I'm not going to stand on ceremony, it's the beach.
- Morning darling.
I'm on my way out.
- Traveling mercies.
- Thank you.
Enjoy yourself.
- I'll try.
- I'll walk you out honey.
- Yes, I packed you everything you asked for honey,
what the hell is she doing here?
- Like I know, came down for breakfast
and she was at the table.
Thought you arranged it and forgot to tell me.
- She's the last thing I need right now.
- Mm.
Jilly. - Jilly.
- Bye daddy, have a safe flight.
- Mmm, don't make me come up those stairs.
- Like I'm gonna let you leave without a hug.
- That's right.
- I need you to hold down the fort Princess.
I want to find everyone in one piece when I get back.
- Really?
- Copy that.
- You're in charge.
- Okay daddy.
- And get to your meetings.
- I will.
- Where is everybody?
- Coming Gran.
- You know what?
I think you two planned this.
- Don't look at me.
- Do you have your passport dear?
- Good morning.
- What have you done to your beautiful hair dear?
- Check.
- Okay,
- You forgot the most important thing.
- Which is, what?
Oh.
- It's all gonna work out.
- I hope so, text me when you land?
- Okay.
- Daddy's leaving.
- Bye bye son.
- Bye daddy.
- Alright, love you.
- Is that all you.
- Isn't this ducky mother, you finally made
your way over to our little cottage.
- Yes, Jilly knows that I would do anything for her.
- You're looking well.
- When have I not?
Not while I'm eating dear.
- So when did you get in?
- Late, early, depending on how you look at it.
I haven't slept a wink.
- Why don't you take a nap Gran
and afterwards you can go to,
- Dearie, I have done all the moving about I have planned
to do today.
I'm supposed to be here a week and I'm exhausted already.
I must have walked three miles.
Three miles at that airport.
And I tried to hail one of those little rolly cart things
about ran me over dear, oh my gosh,
I've had all the excitement and exercise
that I can use today.
Besides, you know what they say about guests,
- Mmhmm.
- However, I would like to see some of my dear friends
while I'm here.
- And who would they be mother?
- Oh I can't remember names, hand me my purse dear sweetie.
I been chatting with them so I've got them all here.
Hold on just a second here.
- Take your time.
- Alrighty, oh, Pat and Paul Nuken have invited me for tea.
And I just absolutely must go and play bridge
with Bunchie Whooten.
- Well Grandma I told you,
I have a very special itinerary planned for us
in the mountains and we leave tomorrow.
- That's right.
- Don't you worry your pretty little head about that dear,
we'll get everything in.
Besides, it would be so sad if I didn't get
to see my dear friends.
- Actually Gran it would be sadder
if you came all this way and didn't spend time with us.
- Excuse me?
I can't believe you used that tone with me young lady.
Jacqueline, are you going to let your daughter
talk to her grandmother like that?
- Don't waste your outrage on me,
you're going to have to pace yourself on this trip,
I'm sorry.
Now I know what was so important last night.
- I wanted to surprise you.
- And you have.
- Well Mother's Day is next Sunday
and what better way to spend it
then all three of us being together.
- What do you think mother?
- I think you shouldn't have come downstairs
to breakfast in that nasty robe
and your plants need watering.
- Maybe we should all just take a breathe and relax.
- I think this was a bad idea.
- Gran.
- I'm sorry to disappoint you Jilly
but if this is what the week is gonna be like
I might as well have just gone on back to the airport.
- Well it's not possible.
- Flights are sold out.
- That's right, and if you wanted to leave mother,
you should have left with Magnus,
he could have dropped you off
on his way to Jamaica and he's taking off
right about now.
Room's upstairs to the left.
What.
- I hear you all sniggering.
- I just got my hair done.
Why aren't we in the Mercedes?
- Gran there's nothing like fresh air.
- How did you find this place?
- Actually from the yoga studio.
The yoga's instructor.
- We could be at the Ritz Carlton.
- She told me about it.
- Oh it would be so lovely there.
- And then we're just going to turn in there.
That's what I was told.
- We're rocking, we're rocking, mother you okay?
- I'm fine dear.
- You sure?
- I am fine.
I think we're lost.
- You would say that.
- Oh my goodness.
- Why have we stopped?
- 'cause cars can't go any further Gran.
- That's right.
- You can't be serious, I have to walk,
we're lost right, nobody knows where we are,
we could be kidnapped or worse.
- Stop exaggerating.
- We're gonna be robbed.
- Oh my goodness.
- Hey.
- Welcome, oh, good to see you,
we've been expecting you.
- How you all doing, how you all doing?
- I'm Faith.
- Welcome.
- This is Garfield, welcome.
- You all are late.
- Yeah, you be late too if you were lost in the wilderness.
- Mother stop.
- This is my mom, Jacqueline Mitchell.
- Call me Jackie.
- Hey how you doing?
- Hi Jackie.
- And that is my Grandmother, still in the Jeep.
- Mrs Stewart with a T.
- Garfield get the bags, you all must be tired.
- And sore.
- Well let's you get you settled
and fed, Mrs Stewart with a T.
- What's for dinner?
Some meatless turtle soup
with ancient grains and pine needles?
- It's her first camping trip,
you'll have to forgive her.
- Mrs Stewart you know we may just have to add that
to our menu.
come on.
- Come on mother.
Here she comes.
- I'm not an invalid, I can do this myself.
Never in my life, on a golf course in Palm Springs perhaps.
Golf cart, in the wilderness, absurd.
- We're just getting started.
- I need a drink.
- When we get back to camp, I will whip you up
the most delicious kale cayenne smoothie.
- Water, just water, bottled.
- I'll take the smoothie.
- Oh yeah, me too.
- Scuze me baby.
- Two smoothies.
- Yes.
- Come on mother.
- I'm coming.
- You're doing it.
Fine, mother, there she goes.
- Be careful with that bag.
- I'm doing it.
- I think you all are going to really enjoy this.
- So beautiful.
- So excited to share this with you.
Here we are.
- Let's get out. - Lets get out.
- I'll help you Gran, I'll help you.
it's kind of a big step down so.
I got you, I got you,
- Come on mother, mother you okay?
- I'm fine honey, I'm fine.
- Look at this place.
- This is so beautiful Jilly.
- Wow, this is incredible.
- And windows on three sides.
- You can't be serious, I cannot and I will not
be seen in that contraption.
- Yes you can.
- And yes you will mother.
- Chalk it up as a whole new experience, right Faith.
- That's right.
- It's an experience, a very new experience
and I can't say because I'm a Christian woman
what it really actually is, but,
one thing is for sure.
- What's that Mrs Stewart?
- I have to go along with this so I don't get eaten up
by the wolves.
- Mrs Stewart, this isn't the first time
we've heard this reaction and I'm sure,
over time, you'll adjust.
- Over time.
I am getting the first golf cart
out of here tomorrow morning.
- I couldn't have hoped for more, thank you.
- I'm glad you're happy.
- You know I've never been camping before,
and being in a yurt, that's like incredible.
- You'll find that most of the creature comforts
you're accustomed too are inside.
- I doubt that.
- After talking to Jilly about you
and her mother.
- Young man, young man, that's vintage Louis Vitton,
please don't scratch that.
- I got you ma'am, I got you.
- He's got it Gran.
- Mother.
Mother it's fine.
Anyway, go on Faith.
- I thought that this accommodation would be
the best fit for everyone.
- I thought you said we were going
to the Ritz Carlton retreat?
- No, Gran, I said we were going to a holistic spa.
And we're at it.
- Yeah it's called glamping, I think mom.
- Glamping?
- Yes, it's the modern way of being at one
with mother nature.
- This is modern.
- Yes.
- I am getting eaten up by the mosquitoes
this is not modern to me.
- Well, let's go in then.
- Yeah, go ahead mother, go ahead.
- This is gonna be interesting.
- You can say that again.
- Oh.
- It's so beautiful honey.
- Right?
- I love this idea so,
thank you sir.
- Thank you.
- You're gonna love it.
Thank you.
- Okay here we go.
- Oh my god.
wow.
Mother what do you think, look at this.
- I told you guys, it's nice.
- You two are hallucinating.
- Uh-huh.
- I'm sleeping on the bottom bunk over here,
I'm not climbing any ladders this whole thing could
just blow over with a gust.
- Well then I am gonna take the top bunk.
- People stay in Yurts year round.
- I guess they do.
Where is the outhouse?
- Full plumbing ma'am.
The bathroom is out to the left.
- See mom, you can do this, you can do it.
I guess I'm taking that bunk.
- Yes.
- Oh I've never been in a bunk bed before.
- Thank you Faith.
- you're welcome.
- So much fun.
- You're welcome.
- Thank you for doing this faith.
- No problem.
Glad you asked.
- Dinner was delicious tonight.
- Garfield caught that trout early this morning.
- Oh look a shooting star.
- Quick, make a wish.
- Mmm.
Mmm.
You know Jilly couldn't stop talking about this place
and now I see why.
- We are honored that you all are here
as a family and that Jilly chose this sacred place
as part of her recovery.
- Yeah.
- Three generations of women.
That is a blessing.
- It is.
Yeah, she believed us coming here would be healing
for all of us.
- Mmhmm.
- Truth be told,
I have a strained relationship with my mother.
We have issues and
it's funny, I wish my husband were here with me now.
We nearly divorced recently.
- Sounds like you suppressed a lot for a long time.
- Oh yeah.
And I projected all of my unresolved resentments
and unfulfilled dreams onto my daughter,
I mean I told everybody she was gonna
be an equestrian, win the gold at the Olympics
and we pushed that on her.
She didn't want any of that.
Her passion is nature and
photography.
- Yes.
She told me.
I'm curious Jacqueline,
- Mmhmm.
- Who did you confide in when you were Jilly's age.
- Try nobody.
I learned how to pray privately to God.
- I know.
- That is until Jilly's addiction.
- It's gonna be okay.
- I'm sorry for rambling,
I was just talking and talking.
- It happens all the time.
Things have a way of bubbling to the surface
and it can get uncomfortable.
But mark my words,
you come out on the other side
everyone will be changed forever.
- Jilly?
- Hmm.
- What are you up to?
- I'm just sending pictures to daddy so he can feel like
he's here with us.
- Wish you could download me and send me home.
- Gran.
- I think I'm getting sick.
- Well I'm pretty sure it's psychosomatic.
- No no, I'm serious.
- You said that wild horses couldn't keep you away.
And that you would do anything to help me,
well this is it, and no it may not be
your gold standard of the Ritz Carlton
but it's what I need.
- Well,
- Mom.
- What do you think?
- Wow.
Mom.
- Why you let her put that mess in your hair?
- Anyway, tomorrow is the sweat lodge.
- Yes.
- The what?
- It's a surprise Gran.
- Oh no more of those please, you got me out here
in the wilderness, catching my death of a cold and
I've really had enough of this, I'm leaving.
- No mother.
- Gran, where do you think you're gonna go
in the dead of the night?
- Exactly?
- I mean camp ground attendants have gone home
and even if you could get an Uber,
cars aren't allowed on the property.
- Mmhmm.
- It'd be a long walk down to the roadside.
- In the dark.
- With bears.
- Hey.
- Skunks.
- Snakes.
- Coyotes.
- Stop.
- So it looks like you're staying.
Oh um, these are for you guys.
- What is this?
- Oh wow.
- Just a little something.
- Thank you honey.
What is it?
OH honey it's beautiful.
- I'm glad you like it.
- Baby.
- What am I supposed to do with this?
- Wear it Gran, tomorrow.
I want to get a picture with all of us.
- Oh good lord.
- It's just a thank you to both of you
for coming and supporting me on my recovery.
- Oh sweetheart.
- And don't worry, I'm gonna show you how to use the wraps.
Goodnight.
- Oh good night precious.
Oh.
- Good night Gran.
- You gonna show us how to wrap this thing?
- Yes, I'm gonna show you all that tomorrow.
- Good night.
I'm gonna do like a Nigerian turban thingie.
Gotta figure out.
- And you're gonna keep all that mess in your hair.
- Mother it's called khari shells.
- Looks ridiculous.
- Do not.
- It's just a piece of cloth what are you supposed
to do with this?
- Mother?
Mother, it is amazing this fabric.
Get excited about something.
- Well.
- Other than the Ritz Carlton.
- This is beautiful.
- Some of us are trying to sleep.
- Sorry.
- Sorry honey.
- Come on.
Come on.
Yes.
- It's a Sauna right?
- You'll be okay.
- Come on mom, give me your hand.
yes.
So beautiful.
- This purification process is physical,
spiritual, and social.
- How?
- Heat is essential in this process.
Water is available.
But try to remain in the heat the entire time
to receive the full benefits.
- North,
is the direction of dreams.
- Are here any writers here?
- Mom.
Raise your hand.
- No, I'm not.
- Raise your hand.
- I used to be.
- South brings words.
And words have power that last long after they are spoken.
- West
represents old dreams and death.
- It'll be a setting sun before they stop talking.
And I get my hot toddy.
- East brings new dreams
and dreams not yet fulfilled.
- Nightmare.
Voodoo, what is this mumbo jumbo
you have brought us too Jilly?
I'm going back to the tent.
- No you're not - yes.
- You're gonna stay right here.
- Oh so now I'm kidnapped.
Held against my will?
- You're here for me Gran, remember what you said.
- I'm going to prepare the tent.
Don't be scared.
- We're going in, oh please, this is ridiculous.
It is hot as Hades in here.
- It's supposed to be mother.
- No I'm mean it's too hot
and I am too old for this nonsense,
I could die of heat stroke.
- Let's meditate on our breathing,
and not focus on the heat.
I'm gonna go check on our other guests.
- I bet there's not a doctor within a hundred miles of here.
