Tasked with being her younger brother’s caretaker, who suffers from some debilitating disease, Doris finally gets to experience a normal teenage phase once her mother (Laura Linney) moves into a care facility’s residency to be closer to her admitted younger sibling.
From throwing parties in her empty house to please the popular high school cliques and get some attention to dressing up for an actual high-school party, Doris lets loose. And it comes with some consequences. However, her friendship with an activist (Harrelson), who is protesting one of the most landmark medical cases in history, makes her realise that she should make the most of the little time she has with her brother.
Instead of letting the bad memories crowd at the front, Doris tries to reminisce about her bond with her once-beloved younger brother and ends up growing closer to her mother as well. The leading trio assures a heartwarming yet tear-inducing coming-of-age drama that shall make you laugh and chuckle as much as weep and relate.
