Following the sudden death of her mother, Cass finds herself in crisis and unable to think straight. While she tries to accomplish an overwhelming set of funeral arrangements, her family tries to convince her not to give a eulogy. She insists it must be her, but what will she say?
"From Canadian director Patricia Rozema, "Las dos Cassandras" ("Mouthpiece") might seem simple if we just stick with the synopsis: Cassandra is trying to organize the affairs of her recently deceased mother before the funeral. But the kicker here is that the protagonist is played by two actresses (Amy Nostbakken and Norah Sadava, who also wrote the play on which the movie is based), and each one embodies the fragmented personality of Cassandra. In other words, the movie is a tender—and even sometimes humorous—character study centered on grief. An interesting experimental theatre piece that translates phenomenally to the cinema, illustrating how people cope with the world using different aspects of their personality."
