So B. It

For as long as Heidi can remember, her mentally challenged mother has had only 22 words in her vocabulary. And that’s fine with the precocious 12 year-old. They live happily, in the bubble of love and protection provided by their remarkable neighbour, the nurturing but agoraphobic Bernadette. Then one day a new word pops out of her mother’s mouth – the mysterious "soof" – and it changes everything. Heidi is propelled on a solo cross-country journey of discovery and loss, truth and identity. Secrets boil to the surface, long-hidden fears are faced, and Heidi finally learns who she is and where she and her childlike mum came from. From the New York Times bestseller, SO B. IT is a film of love, humanity and courage with just a touch of magical whimsy. With an amazing cast lead by Oscar nominee Alfre Woodard and startling newcomer Talitha Bateman, this "beautiful coming-of-age drama" is one of the year’s best and most unmissable movies!
