In the summer before she is due to start at university, Joni, along with her 15-year-old brother, Laser, the children of a pair of bourgeois lesbians, seek out their sperm donor father, Paul, an earthy restaurateur, forming a relationship that will lead to numerous ups and downs, in Cholodenko’s warm, witty, and thoroughly compelling family drama.
