The story focuses on one day, about the short journey of lesbian grandmother Elle and granddaughter Sage, in one day, to raise money for abortion.
On this day, the human feelings are warm and cold, and I can see most of the life experience of my grandmother, an old literary girl.
In the first ten minutes of the film, the characters' personalities and story backgrounds are probably explained.
My grandmother is an out-of-date poetess. Although she looks fierce, she is full of warmth in her heart. Considering the future of the young female lover, she pretended to break up with each other unfeelingly, and said harshly, "You are just a note in my life!"
Granddaughter Sage found her grandmother this morning after her grandmother broke up with the young lover. $500 for a looming abortion.
Cynical grandma who just cut all her credit cards to make cute wind chimes. Unable to come up with cash, she had to take her granddaughter and start a fundraising journey in a car that could hang up at any time.
The plot of the whole film is clearly divided into 6 chapters, each chapter is a small story and accident, in one go. Like an interesting novel.
On the way to raise funds, my grandmother found a black transgender tattoo artist who had helped her, a coffee shop owner who wanted to buy her first edition collection book, and her ex-husband who abandoned her more than 40 years ago...

In the movie, grandma goes to see her ex-husband. They met again, and the first sentence they saw was each lamenting the passage of time. At the same time, the two unruly people sighed, "I like being old. Young people are stupid." In the
movie, the characters of the elderly live more excitingly and interestingly than the young people. They live free and easy and special according to their own temperament. Walk alone. And young people live timidly and weakly.
Grandmother Elle, who silently threw her ex-husband off the boat and aborted the child in her stomach without permission, gave birth to her daughter on a last-night stand. Over half a hundred years old, he still has a hot personality, daring to love and hate. In a coffee shop, coffee was deliberately spilled on the ground to express dissatisfaction with the boss. Beating granddaughter's ex-boyfriend with a bat and taking marijuana from his drawer.
Aside from the humorous lines, the grumpy grandmother also has some lovely heartwarming details. for example. Grandma Elle has a total of three tattoos on her body, the name of the deceased favorite "Viet" on her arm; the tattoo on her shoulder is a dragonfly, just like herself. I got an "O" tattoo, and the granddaughter guessed it was the initials of the new lover Olivia's name, but the grandmother refused to admit it, "0 represents the cycle, and it can also represent the initials of Olivia." cute.
"I always liked women. I just didn't like myself." Grandma's line is also very cool.
The ex-husband lived a healthy life by eating boiled corn, and was romantic. He had been married more than ten times, but he still maintained his grandmother Elle's love for a long time. After meeting in their 30s, they asked each other for a real kiss, and kept Elle's young photos in a small box containing passports and money.
Granddaughter Sage is the opposite of grandmother. She is shallow and weak, afraid of facing her mother, and has no courage to ask her boyfriend for money for surgery. I don't know Beauvoir, I thought the words in a feminist book were characters from "X-Men". She said that the people around her are very boring, and even swear words back and forth.
Not to mention granddaughter Sage's ex-boyfriend, unaccountable, rude, and downright rascal.
Another interesting aspect of the movie is also in some unrelated little details, it seems to be saying that reality is not as good as you think, especially young people.
For example, grandma squatted down and reasoned with the little girl with cute plastic beads on her hands, telling her, "The world is so wide, don't waste time with your mother here." The little girl didn't give any answer, but shot her in the face with a savage punch.
And my grandmother finally took a taxi home, and went to her girlfriend's house to express her intentions, and asked the driver to wait for her for 5 minutes. The young driver agreed, but he did not have the spirit of the contract. When the grandmother came out, the car had already driven away.
In addition, as a feminist film, it not only implicitly expresses the disdain of young people, but some details also seem to show that men are inferior to women. For example, a narrow-minded ex-husband refuses to let go of his heart and eventually refuses to borrow money. The transgender black tattoo artist took out all his savings honestly; the male secretary of his daughter's company was useless, and in the end he had to rely on women to solve the problem. And Olivia's mother is noticeably more enlightened than her father.
You bite my wings, Attack me midflight,
Evolution's knife Pressed to my throat.
Olivia's mother, when she saw her daughter's old lover walk into the house, still expressed her appreciation for this poet. of these two poems. This is a portrayal of grandma's soft heart, and it also appropriately expresses the current situation of her relationship with Olivia. It also shows that Olivia's mother understands her daughter's relationship to a certain extent, corresponding to the father's long sigh.
Overall, the plot of the movie is not complicated and ups and downs, not sensational, full of emotion.
A simple story of a woman's growth and aspirations, it doesn't tell the big truth, but the truth is in the heart. The three generations of women, grandmother, mother, and granddaughter, seem to have transformed on this day.
In the end, the grandmother reconciled with the young female lover, the daughter reconciled with her mother Elle, and the granddaughter Sage reconciled with herself. Everyone gets a period of growth in life.
In the last picture, the grandmother is walking leisurely on the street at night, looking up to herself and laughing out loud.
The sea laughs, and the tide is surging on both sides of the strait.
The road of life is long, but there are memories that accompany you forward.
