In The Last Word (2017), Harriet, a strong-willed retired businesswoman, takes control of her life by paying off her local newspaper to write her obituary in advance. She wants to ensure that her life story is told exactly as she wants. However, Anne, a young journalist tasked with writing the obituary, refuses to follow Harriet's script and is determined to uncover the truth about her life.

As Anne digs deeper, she discovers unexpected and surprising details about Harriet's past. Through their interactions, a unique and transformative friendship develops between the two women.
