Synopsis:

Rebelling against the traditions of her Polish family during her American upbringing, Julia forges her own path in countercultures, documenting her queer, polyamorous life over 15 years. The birth of her daughter brings her back to Europe to confront her mother and the inherited scripts of womanhood. Together, they come to see liberation not as a destination, but as a negotiation with time, body, and power.
