What They Had

Bridget (Hilary Swank), a California chef, is called home to Chicago when her ailing mother
Ruth (Blythe Danner) disappears in the middle of a blizzard. With her rebellious daughter Emma
(Taissa Farmiga) in tow, Bridget arrives to find Ruth safe, but increasingly confused and disoriented.
Ruth’s latest excursion is the last straw for her son Nicky (Michael Shannon), who believes she
needs to be in a “memory care” facility, but her husband Bert (Robert Forster) insists that her place
is with him at home in the life they have made together.
Bridget struggles with her own troubled marriage, her complicated relationship with Emma
and her guilt about having left her family in Chicago. As Nicky pushes her to put Ruth in a nursing
home and Bert grows angry with her interference, Bridget searches for a solution that will make
everyone happy. Then, the family faces one more unexpected crisis that forces her into an
impossible position. A poignant look at a heart-wrenching and familial dilemma, What They Had is
the first feature film from writer and director Elizabeth Chomko, winner of the prestigious 2015
Academy Nicholl Fellowship for screenwriting.
