You Don’t Read Enough (1970)

The film chronicles the beginning of an anxiety spiral when Kasia’s mom doesn’t come home, and won’t answer her phone. She jumps to the worst case conclusion that her mother might never come home and prepares to take on the responsibilities left behind. As her catastrophizing escalates, she begins to consider her mother’s affect on her, and with the help of a semi-conscious stress ball, explores her fears in a world without her mother, but also the possibility that she may finally be free from a codependent relationship.
