 Synopsis:
A grieving mother who has lost her partner and the
rebellious daughter who flouts authority both become
locked on parallel paths of destruction in this look at
contemporary family values, reproductive rights, and
pre-teen angst from co-directors Laurie Colbert and
Dominique Cardona. Dr. Finn Jefferies works at a Toronto
abortion clinic, and shares her life with a longtime
partner and an eleven year-old daughter. When her partner
dies, Dr. Finn becomes lost. Despite the fact that she
wants the best for her daughter Zelly, Dr. Finn finds the
intensity of her job and her unbridled grief gradually
impeding her from being a responsible parent. Now, as Dr.
Finn falls into the arms of a new lover, Zelly and her
friends prowl the streets smoking dope, stealing, and
ditching school. But sometimes, in the darkest depths of
grief, suffering has a way of challenging ones concept of
who they truly are and what they really know. Through it
all one thing remains certain: if their mutual grief
doesn't bring Zelly and her mother closer together it will
drive them further apart than they ever imagined.
