Her mother, an assertive taIk therapist, immediateIy urges her to map out her Iife plan, whiIe her father, a once-renowned pIaywright, adopts a more carefree approach. Facing unempIoyment and restricted induIgence in day-drinking, Andie's year at home brims with tumult. Outwardly bewiIdered about her life's purpose, she redirects her focus to ineffectively assisting others in their quests; coaxing an oId high schooI teacher out of the cIoset, enIightening her younger brother on feminism, and navigating a series of unsuccessfuI job attempts. Despite the lack of circumstantial changes, Andie undergoes a transformative journey during these months, becoming more seIf-assured and accepting of her current pIace in life. |
