In this episode, a well meaning father's life is thrown into disarray in director Hallie Myers Shire's comedic drama Goodrich.
The film tells the story of Andy, whose wife unexpectedly checks herself into rehab, leaving him to take care of their two young children.
When Grace, his daughter from a first marriage, steps up to help him, she watches him evolve into the father she never had.

Following a screening of the film at the DGA theater in Los Angeles, Myers Shire spoke with director Max Minghella about filming Good Rich.
