A lesbian mother's contentious relationship with her rebellious daughter collides with her dedication to reproductive rights and the clinic that her late partner started in this gripping tale of parental love, loss and redemption.
In this touching story that hits right at the heart, Finn Jefferies is a brilliant fertility doctor who struggles to balance raising her unruly daughter, Zelly, as a single parent and running the abortion clinic that her beloved deceased partner, Nancy, started. Finn valiantly stretches herself thin to devote herself to both, but when the uncontrollable pressure mounts, she rides off on her motorcycle or cozies up to her young new lover. Zelly is not the easiest 11-year-old to bring up, calling her lesbian mom the "evil stepfather," smoking pot, cutting classes and stealing magazines from the local gay book store. This cheeky, pre-teen rebel is having difficulty growing up while dealing with the loss of her biological mother. The two are on a crash course for an eruption, and when a pro-life fanatic attempts to kill Finn, mother and daughter are pushed to the brink! Can the fertility doctor give up the last thing left of her partner's work and recognize that she has another living and breathing embodiment of her adored Nancy? Will she -- for once -- be responsible outside of test tubes and medical procedures? Can Zelly accept Nancy's love for her? This sweet and endearing film explores the real world family values of two women trying to connect and overcome the wounds of tragic loss.
