Summary: | "Karen Skloss explores the meaning of family through a personal journey to understand both the legacy of her birth and the non-traditional family she created by co-parenting with her ex-boyfriend. As an unwed teenager, Skloss's mother went to a home for unwed mothers and gave her up for adoption in 1975. Now as the pair reconnects, Karen contemplates her relationship with her own daughter, Jasmine. Young, pregnant, single and unprepared, the daughter/director struggles with the incredible ironies of family--that history somehow repeated itself, and that the most strenouus efforts to protect the idea of family can actually do the most to pull families apart "--Container.
