About

In 1979 Santa Barbara, California, Dorothea Fields is a determined single mother in her mid-50s who is raising her adolescent son, Jamie, at a moment brimming with cultural change and rebellion. Dorothea enlists the help of two younger women – Abbie, a free-spirited punk artist living as a boarder in the Fields' home and Julie, a savvy and provocative teenage neighbour – to help with Jamie's upbringing.

This sun-drenched period piece swaps typical coming-of-age tropes for a sharp look at how the women shaping a young boy's world define his future. It captures the friction between bohemian rebellion and maternal stability with sparkling, authentic dialogue.
