My child. My life. My home.
Trapped by her fear of loneliness, a young mother clings to her daughter — but as the girl gets her first period and her growing urge for independence intensifies, the mother feels forced to make a momentous decision.

Helen (33) lives with her daughter Ella (13) in a women's commune. Their once close relationship has turned into an unhealthy dependency, marked by Helen's fear of loneliness and Ella's growing desire for independence. Helen secretly applies to leave the community. When Ella finds out, the conflict escalates—and at the last community meeting, the daughter must decide what family means to her.
