Synopsis:

Pie in the Sky is the story of two women, Dory (65), and her mother, Margaret (85), who live together in a mobile home in Abilene, Texas. On this particular morning, Mama has awoken early with the over-whelming need to bake an apple pie. When Dory is awoken by the noise, she joins her mother, and together they assemble the pie and chat. The conversation starts out innocently enough, but it soon becomes clear that Mama is attempting to tie up loose ends and put Dory’s life in better order before she departs this world.
“To do good on earth in hopes of obtaining some future reward in heaven (i.e., pie in the sky).”
