The film tackles the transition from childhood to womanhood, challenges of mother-daughter relationships and generational trauma all in under two hours.

Director Domee Shi said she hopes the movie “starts those conversations and that we can eventually just normalize talking about puberty and menstruation and not feel so weird about it.”
