Time's Up, Betty depicts the fictional tale of an elderly woman grappling with compulsive hoarding disorder. Every inch of the car is brimming with clutter reflecting Betty's inner turmoil and desperate attempts to fill an emotional void. The title suggests both a looming ultimatum and the inevitability of mortality. Betty isolates herself by creating a cocoon of junk within her car which is a physical manifestation of her compulsive hoarding disorder.
