Im zweiten Teil, No Regrets, verfolgt eine ähnlich „intime Kamera“ die Schwierigkeiten der unkonventionellen Protagonistin mit ihren erwachsenen Söhnen und dem neuen Partner.

The first part outlines the lives of three generations of women: an abandoned grandmother, her divorced daughter, and her engaged granddaughter. For the first time in years, they set out together on a family trip. On the way, mutual grievances flare up out of the past. In the second part an unconventional woman, her two sons, their wives, and her present partner are resolving similar conflicts...
