Chilly and Milly
Directed by William D. Caballero
United States | 9 minutes | 2021
An animated documentary about a devoted caretaker, her chronically ill husband, and the power of undying love.
11 years after filming a documentary about his family, William returns home to revisit scenes from his documentary with his parents, Chilly and Milly. Chilly, William's father, is a diabetic with kidney failure whose illness detrimentally affects the lives of him and his family. Milly, William's mother, is the matriarchal caretaker of the family.
When Chilly passes during the pandemic, William and Milly must come to terms with their loss. With Chilly's passing, Milly is tasked with finding a new purpose in life.
