Jessie is a middle-aged woman living with her widowed mother, Thelma. One night, Jessie calmly tells her mother that she plans to commit suicide that very evening. Jessie makes this revelation all while nonchalantly organizing household items and preparing to do her mother's nails.
The resulting intense conversation between Jessie and Thelma reveals Jessie's reasons for her decision and how thoroughly she has planned her own death, culminating in a disturbing yet unavoidable climax.
Screenwriter Marsh Norman has written: "We all know people who have killed themselves and we are hurt and confused and we would like to understand even if we can't accept what they did."

David Émile Durkheim was a French sociologist identifies four different types of suicide which are egoistic suicide, altruistic suicide, anomic suicide and fatalistic suicide.
Egoistic suicide is seen as stemming from the absence of social integration. It is committed by individuals who are social outcast and see themselves as being alone or an outsider. This is Jesse. #NightMother, #suicideprevention , #mentalhealth
