by Eliza Hittman
17-year-old Autumn is faced with making serious decisions after an unwanted pregnancy. Abortion is illegal in her home state of Pennsylvania, and the introverted teenager cannot count on getting any support from her family. Only her brash cousin Skylar turns out to be her ally in this difficult situation. In search of prospects, the two young women travel to New York City, where they have to survive without money or accommodation. Director Eliza Hittman sensitively tells the story of a teenager who wants to achieve self-determination in a misogynistic and resistant world. Her poetic imagery captures apparent trivialities to create a mixture of unembellished reality and melancholy reverie.
