Beth is struggling to stay afloat as a single parent, a working professional, and the 45-year-old resident of her mother’s basement. As her child explores their gender, Beth confronts her idea of what a ‘good mom’ looks like, balancing the urge to protect her child with the desire to support her kid as their authentic self. Why It’s imPossible explores the complex relationship between mother and child, life’s transitions, and parenting in precarious times.
