When dementia shadows Ruth's life, a Chicago family is pulled back together to decide how far they will go to care for her, and what past grievances they must forgive. Daughter Bridget (Hilary Swank) returns with a stubborn resolve, while siblings wrestle with disappointments and a father faces the toll of years on their bonds. What They Had is a restrained, intimate drama about memory, love, and the fragile line between obligation and self-preservation.
