Movie propaganda
At the age of 12, Aviva wants to be a mother. She does what she can to make this happen, but her sensible mother intervenes, so she runs away from home. Still determined to get pregnant, she finds herself in a world unknown to her - not so much a world of danger as one of possibilities. The peripatetic structure of the plot allows for a range of encounters with bizarre characters, as Aviva passes from one situation to another.
