Set in 2002, Christine MacPherson – self named Lady Bird – finds herself stuck on the “wrong side of the tracks” in Sacramento, California. Lady Bird follows an outspoken teen’s turbulent relationship with her strong willed mother during her senior year at Sacramento Catholic high school. Amidst a rapidly shifting American economic landscape, Lady Bird longs for adventure and acceptance in this coming of age film.
Lady Bird is nominated for Best Picture in the Academy Awards.
