Synopsis

Steven struggles deeply with his youngest daughter, Jennifer’s, increasing independence; he finds it hard to accept that she's growing up and no longer desires their easy camaraderie. As Jennifer matures and cultivates new passions, Steven experiences a sense of rejection when she begins to spend less time with him. The tension escalates dramatically when he insists on joining her for an outing with her girls’ club, leaving her utterly humiliated by his presence as the only man present.
