Despite the heartwarming nature of the Wildflower ending, it leaves many questions that need further analysis. The main cast of Wildflower includes Kiernan Shipka as Bea, Dash Mihok as Derek, and Samantha Hyde as Sharon the three characters who make up the small Johnson family at the center of the film. Audiences first see Bea when she's rushed into the hospital in a coma. The movie follows Bea's recounting of her life as a teenager who helps support her two disabled parents.

The true story-inspired Wildflower explores the complex role and responsibilities that Bea has to shoulder. As she spends more time with her new boyfriend, Bea puts less time into handling her parents' basic self-care, finances, and schedules. As problems start to arise with her parents, Bea questions her ability to ever leave home. This creates a rage inside which she handles with several unhealthy coping mechanisms.
