A generational family comedy for
fans of Eligible, This Is Where I Leave You, Heartburn and television’s This Is Us

It
isn’t easy being related to a feminist icon, especially when she’s celebrating
the greatest moment of her storied career.

Just
ask the daughters of Lydia Hennessey, who could have it all if only they’d stop
self-destructing. Mariana, the eldest, is on the verge of throwing away a
distinguished reputation in journalism, along with her marriage. Nina, the
middle daughter, has returned from a medical mission overseas as a changed
woman but won’t discuss it with anyone. And Beata, the youngest, has a hostile
teenaged son who just discovered the existence of a father who didn’t know
about him either. Meanwhile, their cousin Zoe is making divorce look like a
death match, while her brother, Zack, is grappling with the fallout from his
popular television dramedy, which is based far too closely on Lydia herself.

It might be easier to
find their paths if they could step out of Lydia’s shadow—but the biggest women’s
march in history is underway, and Lydia and her family are at the centre of it.

Over the course of an eventful year, the Hennessey children contend with
the big struggles of midlife: aging parents, raging teens, crumbling marriages
and bodies, new loves and the choice between playing it safe or taking
life-altering risks. And as they inch toward a new definition of happiness,
they might even persuade their parents—and themselves—that they’re all grown up.
