An intimate, slow-burn coming-of-age drama about a teenage girl navigating her mother's transition and her own path to independence through weekly encounters.

Sixteen-year-old Billie’s reluctant path to independence is accelerated when her mother reveals plans for gender transition, and their time together becomes limited to Tuesdays. This emotionally charged story of desire, responsibility, and transformation was filmed over the course of a year—once a week, every week, only on Tuesdays.
