Overview

"At an all-girls' Catholic high school near Boston in 1950, Gwen decides to distribute tampons -- specifically forbidden by the Church -- to her peers, a choice that fractures her relationship with her rule-following twin sister Margot. Twenty years later, Gwen and Margot haven't spoken since high school. Feeling trapped in her marriage, Gwen returns to her hometown with her teenage daughter Vivian, as she recalls the events that led to the twins' estrangement and tries to save Margot from her own marriage." -- Abstract
