“Too young? Too old? You do the math.”
Ivy League Freshman, Aaron Milton (17) gets a different kind of education when he falls for Linda (34) a vivacious former wild-child who has returned to college to straighten out her life. The curriculum gets more challenging when Aaron meets Linda's sarcastic 14 year-old daughter, Beth - who quickly develops a crush on him. The math doesn't work in either direction but the dysfunctional triangle becomes a learning experience for all involved.
This film feels like an uncomfortable, yet earnest, exploration of a deeply awkward situation. It's a quiet, character-driven drama that lingers with a melancholic, cringey charm, focusing on the messy realities of unconventional relationships and burgeoning adulthood.
