Linas is a recovering alcoholic whose life takes a turn when he unexpectedly gets custody of his estranged seventeen-year-old daughter. As they adjust to life under the same roof, Leva’s rebellious best friend Maja begins to spend more and more time at their home, putting an additional strain on the father daughter relationship. As a growing attraction between the flirtatious Maja and the quietly charismatic Linas develops, it creates a dangerous dynamic that could derail all the work Linas has done. Focusing on the “recovering” rather than the “alcoholic” and the AA’s final “Ninth Step”- to repair damage caused to other people - this well written and performed domestic drama handles it’s moral quandaries well and is equally perceptive in it’s portray of teenage friendship and obsession. Please note: There will be no ads or trailers, so please arrive promptly at the advertised start time.
