What is Goodbye June all about?

Goodbye June is a holiday drama that shares the director's real-life insights. The story gains traction when Connor finds his mother unconscious on the floor. He bolts to the hospital immediately and informs all the family members about it. They find the advanced cancer has spread too far. Christmas is nearing, and the hope of the mother surviving the holiday lessens by the day.

As the story progresses, all four children of June are shown with their varied opinions and griefs. The whole family curates a schedule for the time, as their mother will never be alone at any instance of time. They formed a strict plan, so no one crosses anyone ever, and they also spend time with their mother. Everyone has some baggage towards each other and therefore doesn't want to face the awkwardness.

The dying mother is very witty and doesn't wish to die like a victim. She plans some bits humorously to make her children face their insecurities. The confrontational filmography brings out exceptional and relatable scenarios, which the film is all about.

Whether the children overcome their childhood traumas, jealousy, and grief is the answer suppressed in the film.

Goodbye June is all set to release exclusively on Netflix on December 24, 2025.

Stay tuned for more updates.
