The log line:
A teacher with a history of teenage pregnancy and infertility quits her job and moves her family to the east coast to complete a master’s degree in creative writing.
The movie opens on the woman and her husband (late twenties) entering the house they bought site unseen. They are downsizing and both wondering how they will fit their two children, two dogs, and two cats into this home. The woman, or perhaps we should call her the instigator, also notes the heightened anxiety accompanied with this realization as she is poised to accept the blame for all negative outcomes (note: she is insufficiently medicated).
It’s fraught, right?
The film continues following the woman as she navigates figuring out herself as a writer, being married for longer than a decade, friendships with Gen Z, one child starting kindergarten at the same time as the other starts high school, and finally realizing she’s queer and that explains a lot.
