*2025 RIFF SELECTION*Trailer:
Teenage Maise is a punk-loving girl who takes after her late mother, Carolyn. She lives in Brooklyn with her artist-dad Kurt, where they’ve created a comforting life for themselves. But when Kurt’s father dies it’s a surprise to Maise, since he told her that his old man was already dead as a promise to Carolyn, who hated his abusive dad. With this news, the pair embark on a journey to rural Minnesota.
In this small lake town, Maise meets her extended family for the first time. But once the pleasantries have ended, Kurt is eager to return to Brooklyn and the life they’ve left behind. Problem is, Maise has bonded with a local girl, her grandmother Gail wants to spend more time with her, and her aunt Emma reminds her of Carolyn, so now she wants to stay. Directors Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen’s warmhearted film stars Jensen and their daughter Sadie Jensen-Blank, and was filmed in the Twin Cities and around Lake Minnetonka.
