Lane 1974 Page #4

Synopsis: Based on a true story, Lane is a 13-year-old girl coming of age on a Northern California commune in the 1970s. While Lane enjoys the freedom of living off-the-grid with her mother and younger siblings, she craves a stable "normal" life - a life she's only seen in pictures from a stolen Sears catalog. Lane must navigate her troubled mother, Hallelujah, while trying to care for her younger brother and sister. After a series of dangerous and isolating events, Lane decides to forge her own path in hopes of finding a better life after it becomes clear her family has fallen apart.

Don't touch that. Please.

Is this you?

In another life. Yeah.

Yeah!

No, no, Jamie. You know better than that.

Don't touch that.

They don't eat this, Mom.

I'm sorry.

Take this to the kitchen.

The kids, Mom...

they got you some presents

they found at the beach.

Right, guys?

You wanna give these to Grandma?

Jamie, take your sister

and go in the back.

Hey, Lane?

Come here.

Come on.

Are you praying, Karen?

Oh, God.

You could at least

pray for your brother.

I'm sorry, no amount of praying

is gonna save anyone

from dying in a war.

From the discussions I have had

with Congressional and other leaders,

I have concluded...

I'm sorry.

That because

of the Watergate matter...

I'm sorry. I didn't mean that,

and I do pray for him...

in my own way.

I'm sorry. I just need

a little air for a minute.

Lane, just...

sit still.

Hey, Mom. We're only gonna

be in the city for a few hours.

Do you need money again, Karen?

Oh, Mom.

Thank you. This...

Oh, wow.

Oh, Mom.

Thank you so much.

Oh, this is great for the kids.

Jamie, bring Shayla.

Oh, thank you.

Hey, come here. Come say goodbye.

Come here.

Come on.

Come say goodbye to Grandma.

Say goodbye to Grandma.

Say, "Bye, Grandma."

Thank you, Mom, so much.

It's gonna help me out.

Goodbye, Karen.

Come on, Lane.

Let's go.

Come on, Shayla.

Let's go.

Come on.

That woman is a heavy trip, man.

Heavy trip.

Hey, sister.

Oh, my magical sister.

Come on in.

Oh.

Sit down.

Lane, go find Puma.

Oh, God.

I just can't.

I need a break.

It's just too much.

I feel like a...

It's awful.

Hello?

Come in.

Hi.

Hi.

Can I come in?

I said you could come in.

Close the door.

Mm-hmm.

So...

Who are you here with?

My mom, Hallelujah.

Hallelujah is your mother?

So you guys are from

the country, right?

Yeah.

No way in hell

I'd live out there.

Snakes, spiders,

bugs...

Gross.

You want some?

Okay.

Here.

You should always

have fresh breath.

You need some mascara.

And some gel blush.

Can I put it on you?

Um...

Yeah.

I'm good at makeup.

I'm gonna be a cosmetologist.

As soon as I'm 16.

I move into Chicago.

There's this lady there...

Cookie...

She's a black lady.

She's friends with my real dad.

She owns her own salon.

She said she always

wanted a daughter like me.

But I don't know. We're

really more like sisters.

Look down.

Try this tube top.

Come on.

I don't think I have anything that'll

fit you on the bottom though.

Maybe I can make

a wraparound skirt.

That shirt looks good

with those jeans.

Here.

You can keep my roll-on

sparkle if you wanna.

Thank you.

Try on these shoes.

You look pretty.

Let's take a picture.

You look good.

Stand up.
