Youth is Wasted on the Young
A mother and daughter, 37 years apart, talking about everything.
Periods and menopause. Acne and wrinkles. Sex, or lack thereof. Divorce. Dads. Dating. School. College acceptances. Siblings. Social media. Protesting. Climate change. Whatever else two women more than 3 decades apart refuse to shut up about.
Marit's been through it. Sonja's going through it. Somewhere in between, they figure it out together, out loud, unscripted.
Fair warning: language isn't always clean. Neither are the conversations.
