Review
Coming-of-age comedy-drama following high school senior Bea as she grows up caring for her two intellectually disabled parents while navigating extended family disagreements and her own desire for independence. The story centers on family love, caregiving burdens, and personal growth through flashbacks framed by Bea's hospitalization. Authentic neurodivergent casting and family support themes appear in the narrative.
