Boundaries is a 2018 comedy-drama film written and directed by Shana Feste and distributed by Sony Pictures Classics and Mongrel Media.
Laura Jaconi's therapist works her through trust and abandonment issues, stemming from her father Jack's lifetime of treatment.
Arriving late to her work as an executive assistant, her excessively wealthy boss drives her crazy over her daughter's sweet-16 party, as she's nit-picking everything.
Desperate, needing to pay for an expensive private school, Laura finally calls back Jack looking for help.
At the home, Jack shows his grandson the greenhouse holding his huge crop of marijuana, the reason he's being discharged.
Laura convinces her workmate Serge to take in five of their dogs and make up a sick leave excuse, in exchange for a future date.
The makeshift family with four dogs do a road trip down the coast from Seattle, through Oregon, San Francisco, and LA.
Laura finally makes Jack see how much he's hurt her over the years, then proceeds to scatter the remaining bags of product over the asphalt.
