Rent on Apple TV+ or buy on Apple TV+.
Novalee Nation is a 17-year-old Tennessee transient who has to grow up in a hurry when she's left pregnant and abandoned by her boyfriend on a roadside, and takes refuge in the friendly aisles of Wal-Mart. Eventually, some eccentric but kindly strangers 'adopt' Novalee and her infant daughter, helping them buck the odds and build a new life.
Novalee Nation navigates the harsh realities of teen pregnancy and abandonment while finding an unlikely family within the fluorescent aisles of a big-box store. This heartfelt coming-of-age tale trades cynicism for a genuine sense of community among a group of colorful, eccentric strangers.
