Something Changed in the Room follows music therapist and songwriter Hilary Camino as she treats people living with dementia and Parkinson’s at a senior living community in Wyoming.

Balancing a family and her own music career, Hilary builds something intimate and intangible with the residents, unveiling a life-affirming resilience that we all share. Through her therapy sessions connecting with residents Danny, LaReta, Nanci and Polly, Hilary bridges an emotional gap to what is happening with residents internally as they navigate this stage of life.

This documentary examines the limits of one’s compassion and the idea of healing through human connection. Working through the grief inherent in end-of-life care, Hilary finds strength and solace in her own music, propelling her forward as she tries to improve the emotional, cognitive and physical lives of the residents.
