Synopsis
Bea’s place in the world is about to change, and she is getting reading to let some things go while trying to imagine what lies ahead. The home being prepared for this great change is a house full of fears. An unexpected sense of loneliness has followed in the wake of her desire to be a lesbian single mother. As her body transforms, the camera alternates between intimacy and distance. Caught up in these swirling changes, Bea struggles to recognise either her old or new self amid floods of doubts about family, love, friendship and the myriad desires that threaten to overwhelm the limits of a private life.
