Between landing a promotion to cover artist at her queer activist zine to falling for her impossibly cool girlfriend (Samira Wiley, The Handmaid’s Tale), Sarah (Abbi Jacobson, Broad City) is finally hitting her stride in ‘90s San Francisco. But a trip home to visit her oddball family upends everything. Sarah’s mom, the once-vibrant Midge (Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Veep), isn’t herself — and Sarah’s father (Bryan Cranston, Breaking Bad) and sister (Beanie Feldstein, Booksmart) aren’t quite ready to see the concerning shifts.
Pulled between her exciting life in the Bay and being there for her mother, Sarah tries to find her footing in a disorienting world — a world where Alzheimer’s disease is slowly eroding Midge’s sense of self. Based on Sarah Leavitt’s graphic novel and featuring powerhouse performances from its award-winning ensemble cast…cast, which also includes Seth Rogen (The Studio), Wanda Sykes, and Bowen Yang (Fire Island), Leah Nelson’s animated directorial debut is an achingly beautiful story of acceptance and a meditation on the relationships that shape — and reshape — us.
