a| Allis dies and leaves behind hours of secret films and audio recordings as well as an envelope with the words "To be read after my death", which reveal a dark history for her family to discover. "To be Read After My Death" follows Allis, her husband Charley and their four children in Hartford, Connecticut. Charley’s work takes him to Australia four months each year, so the couple purchases dictaphone recorders as a way to stay in touch throughout Charlie's extended absences. Allis struggles against conformity, against the conventional roles of wife and mother, and she finds the recordings cathartic. When the family turns to psychologists and psychiatrists, their strife increases and the recordings turn progressively darker, even desperate. Pills are prescribed, family members are sent away. The film uses this material combined with home movies and an unusual soundtrack to reconstruct a family’s struggle and to comment on the mores of American culture in the ‘60s.
