The story so far
Everything you need before watchingGloria stuffs a life-size Barbie into the family car and peels out while Sasha prays nobody from school saw them. In the back seat, Gloria admits she found their old dolls, started drawing again, and maybe made Barbie sad and weird because she could not be like her daughter. Then she names herself: a boring mom with a boring job and a daughter who hates her. Watch the car chase turn into a confession, and watch Sasha answer inspiration with a shrug: everybody hates women.
