[ENG]

Divided over six chapters, the film tells the story of Elle, a lesbian poet coping with the recent death of her long-term life partner. She ends a four-month relationship with a younger admirer, Olivia, before receiving a visit from her 18-year-old granddaughter Sage, who is pregnant and requests $630 for an abortion. As Elle is broke and Sage has had her credit card confiscated by her overbearing mother, the two embark on a road trip to come to terms with their troubles. They visit the father of the child, who is unable to come up with much money. They then visit Elle's ex-husband Karl, who Elle has not seen in years. Elle tells him she needs to borrow the money for rent, and he requests a kiss in return. After an argument over how Elle left the relationship, he agrees to hand over the cash, then refuses when he learns Sage will have an abortion with it.

Elle and Sage work up the courage to visit Sage's busy mother, who is furious to learn she is pregnant in spite of having given her condoms. Her mom hands over the money, after which Elle attempts to drive Sage to the clinic, however their car breaks down. They hitch a ride and Sage has the procedure, after which Elle drops in on Olivia to apologize for saying their relationship meant nothing.

• The film is Lily Tomlin's first leading role in 27 years after co-starring with Bette Midler in 1988's comedy film Big Business. It is the second collaboration between Tomlin and Weitz, who previously directed her in his 2013 film Admission.
• Weitz had the story idea for many years but it never really fully formed until he met and worked with Tomlin on the film Admission, saying that "After meeting Lily, the voice and the character really clicked, I had thought about it for years, so I had a lot of it worked out in my head, and then I just went to a coffee shop and wrote it longhand."
• Weitz said the film cost under $600,000 to make.
• For the 73rd Golden Globe Awards, Lily Tomlin was nominated for Best Actress - Musical or Comedy for her performance.
