Tallulah, or Lu as everybody calls her, lives in her truck with her boyfriend, Nico. Sick of her fear to commit to anything, he leaves her, so she decides to go look for him at his mothers house. In the process she comes across a toddler neglected by its alcoholic and careless mother and she ends up kidnapping the baby. She then pretends it's hers and Nico's baby and Nico's mother starts taking care of her. A bond is slowly created between the two women.
It's a pretty good movie that I would recommend. you're left wondering during the entire movie how and if that Impossible situation is going to be solved. Even if the theme is pretty "dramatic" the actors, by giving a really good and convincing performance, give the characters something not pathetic, not illusional, but deeply human. At the beginning of the movie, the main character is not at all lovable. But the more you learn about her past, the more you understand her and her behavior. We learn to appreciate her the same way that the mother does.
The metaphor of the gravity, that starts in the first scene of the movie till the end, to describe somebody's attachment to something is relatable and adds something to the story. The entire movie feels like a coming of age story where Lu needs to learn to stop running away and the mother to start holding on to something.
