Synopsis: Holly collects dolls. Holly is a born-again Christian. Holly is a fifteen-year-old, brainy, outspoken, spoiled, tyrannical brat. And she won't leave her basement. She's also pregnant. In this quasi-comedy about a quasi-adult, a memorable teen is confronted with the speeding train of maturity and a host of life-changing choices without time to consider the consequences. Without much guidance from her well-meaning, but inept father or her less-than-bright boyfriend, can Holly's real friends-her dolls-help her make the treacherous transition from child to adult or will the job require the touch of a special Homo sapien? | ||||
