A chance encounter leads her to a neglected baby, and she she runs to the only responsible adult she knows — her ex-boyfriend’s mother Margo (Allison Janney). Along the way, the two forge a strange bond and Lu learns what it means to be a parent as the investigation into the baby’s kidnapping closes in. Sian Heder, in an interview with Indiewire , told them her stint as a nanny in four star hotels, where the baby was “just an accessory to the mothers” coupled with her interaction with a friend who lived off the grid in a van was what inspired her to write the story. Tallulah made its debut at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year and has been screened in several other  film festivals since. Here’s the trailer of the critically acclaimed movie, which will be screened directly via Netflix:
