16-year-old Billie is a vulnerable girl whose reluctant path to independence is accelerated
when her mother reveals plans for gender transition and their time together becomes
limited to Tuesday afternoons. As her parent navigates dramatic changes, the teen
embarks on some physical explorations of her own. Filmed over the course of a year,
once a week, every week-only on Tuesdays-the production's unique filmmaking rules
bring a rare authenticity to this emotionally charged story of desire, responsibility,
and transformation. Director Sophie Hyde's experimental debut feature received awards
at the 2014 Sundance and Berlin film festivals.
