Overview
Ava, daughter of a once successful techno DJ couple, lives with her father after her parents' divorce. When her mother, Naomi, aims for an international comeback, Ava is thrust into the world of the nocturnal club scene. While Naomi thrives in this dark arena of pounding beats, it's not Ava's world. Despite her efforts to adapt, Ava must struggle to maintain her own identity.
This is a decent little film about people who shouldn’t be parents, and the effect that it has on the people around them. While my parents weren’t as dysfunctional as the mother, I could relate to a lot of the things that happened in the film. I wondered if it would be best to face your parent so that you could ask if why they left, or is it better not to know. The film did a decent job laying out the themes.
