Aviva is thirteen, awkward and sensitive. Her mother Joyce is warm and loving, as is her father, Steve, a regular guy who does have a fierce temper from time to time. The film revolves around her family, friends and neighbors.

VIBE

A tender, sometimes uncomfortable, look at the messy realities of adolescence and family. It captures the awkwardness of growing up with a quiet, observational touch. Feels authentic and deeply human.
