Lady Bird

In 2002, Christine "Lady Bird" McPherson is a senior at a Catholic high school in Sacramento. She longs to attend a prestigious college in "a city with culture" despite her family's financial struggles, while her mother tells her she is ungrateful for what she has. Lady Bird and her best friend Julie join their school theater program, where Lady Bird meets a boy named Danny O'Neill. Lady Bird and Danny develop a romantic relationship, and, in a decision that disappoints her mother, she decides to spend the Thanksgiving before graduation with Danny's wealthy family instead of her own. Their relationship ends when Lady Bird and Julie discover their boyfriends kissing one another in a bathroom stall.
