The black sheep of the family, Lenny (Uli Latukefu), is a troubled ex-convict struggling to find his place in the world.

June's memory starts to fade once again, but the family learns to cherish the time they have left with her. Along the way, June reconnects with her old flame, Harold (Nash Edgerton), and finds a sense of closure to the one love that got away.
With heartwarming performances from the talented cast, June Again is a bittersweet tale of family, love, and the power of hope in the face of adversity. The film celebrates the beauty of second chances, and the importance of forgiving oneself and others.
