At the start of the summer, Bridget has an abortion just as she lands a much-needed job in affluent Evanston, Illinois – nannying a six-year old. With no time to recover, she clashes with the obstinate Frances and struggles to navigate a growing tension between Frances’ moms.
As her personal relationships suffer, a reluctant friendship with Frances emerges, and Bridget contends with the inevitable joys and difficulties of becoming a part of someone else’s family. At turns hilarious, surprising and moving, Saint Frances forges new ground in a uniquely modern take on the ‘summer film’.
