In a fading Scottish industrial town, Gemma is a teenager and a soon-to-be mother. Coming from a broken family, throughout her life, Gemma has known nothing but hardship. This documentary takes a tender look at her coming-of-age story.

The Hollywood Reporter by Keith Uhlich
Fiske and Hallin show, over the course of their very affecting movie, how this naive analogy both complements and conflicts with the ups-and-downs of Gemma's reality.
The New York Times by Teo Bugbee
For all the impetuousness of its subjects, this is a film of remarkable respect and restraint — a documentary that carves shape into a messy reality.
This extraordinary documentary weighs the bleak details – and they are, at times, almost unbearably grim – against moments of lyrical beauty and even humour. It’s a remarkable achievement.
