Judith, an uptight divorcee, is appalled when her daughter Lily quits law school to move into a commune of hippie-misfits who live according to the behavioural principles of the bonobo monkey, a species famous for its 'make love not war' philosophy.

VIBE

This film feels like a slightly awkward, yet ultimately warm, indie comedy. It's about unconventional families and finding your place, with a gentle, observational tone that encourages empathy for its eccentric characters.
