Girl in Progress

Grace is a single mom. She is too busy juggling work, bills, and the very married Dr. Hartford to give her daughter, Ansiedad the attention she desperately needs. When Ansiedad’s English teacher, Ms. Armstrong introduces students to classic coming-of-age stories, Ansiedad is inspired to skip adolescence and jump-start her life without Mom. While Grace becomes preoccupied with the increasing affections of her co-worker, Ansiedad enlists the help of her loyal friend, Tavita, to plot her shortcut to “adulthood.”

But, as her misguided plan unravels, Ansiedad and Grace must learn that sometimes growing up means acting your age.
