An emotionally exhausted nurse revisits the comforts of childhood when she hires a babysitter to take care of her for the evening. Isabel Pask directs “Goodnight,” a weighty drama about a hospice worker looking for relief. After an intense day on the job, Daria returns to her New York City apartment and finds a young woman, Max, waiting for her. The nature of their relationship is gradually revealed: Max bargains with Daria as she would a child, making her choose between chocolate milk now or ice cream later. Afterwards, Max gives Daria a bath before initiating some improvisational play time. Just as Daria begins to loosen up, a minor incident threatens to send her back to reality.
