In 1979 Santa Barbara, Calif., 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.

'A story about the lives of women, the challenges of parenthood, the value of art and a recent past that now seems unreachable' - Pamela Hutchinson, Sight & Sound
