About

LOVE & STUFF  is a multi-generational love story that start with a very good death’ leads to an unexpected birth, and commits to the ride of a lifetime. With her signature first-person style, 25 years of archival family footage, and heymish gallows humor, Peabody award-winning filmmaker Judith Helfand confronts an unimaginable but inevitable question: “How do you live without your mother?” Shortly after her mother’s death, at just shy of 50, Judith becomes a “new old” mother overnight to a newborn. But OY! Baby Theo’s “nursery” is piled high with her dead Bubby’s stuff – treasures Helfand can’t bear to part with. LOVE & STUFF explores the transformative power of parenting, our complex attachment to “stuff” and what it is we really need to leave our children.
