As her artistic life gets stifled by the weight of daily childcare, a mother (Amy Adams) begins to grow excessive hair and develop a raw meat craving. In her exploration of femininity, Marielle Heller deftly blends comedy with fairy tale-like magical realism and body horror.

In 2012, she received the Sundance scholarship for young directors and wrote pilot television series scripts for ABC and 20th Century Fox. Heller also received the "Directors to Watch" prize at the Palm Springs Film Festival alongside directors such as Sean Baker and Avy DuVernay. She is influenced by the achievements of Nicole Holofcener and Jill Solloway. Her films The Diary of a Teenage Girl and A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood were shown at the American Film Festival.
