A Mother, Couch photo provides a first look at the upcoming movie.

“The film unspools in a remote furniture store, where Mother (Ellen Burstyn) stations herself on a green couch, refusing to get up, leaving her three estranged children – David (Ewan McGregor), Gruffudd (Rhys Ifans), and Linda (Lara Flynn Boyle) to figure out why,” according to Variety.

“With the help of the store managers, Bella (Taylor Russell) and Marco & Marcus (F. Murray Abraham), David and his siblings embark on what is described as a mind-bending journey to reveal life-altering family truths.”
