Description
Tom of Finland. Breastfeeding. Men. Raving at the Hacienda decades apart. Just the usual parent and child catch-up. For Tink (parent) and Abra (child), it’s just another Tuesday. Gen X Gen Z eavesdrops into their real-life conversations. This is a show about parenting, being parented and the ongoing process of becoming who you are, no matter your age, with your family as your witness.
How does it feel being brown with a white mum, and growing up when your politics at home is miles ahead of the outside world? How do you know you’ve done a good job as a parent when you left home at 15 and don’t know if you’re a mum or a dad? Imagine being parented by a Mancunian renegade who stays out all night but gets cross when you do. Abra thought her mum was normal until she started school and saw that no one else’s mum looked like hers.
Tink and Abra are at a critical point where Abra is becoming a woman and Tink is becoming less of a woman. Their relationship, bodies and lives are changing, and so is society’s gaze on them both. Everything is up for grabs except their love for each other.
