Palindromes

Controversial coming-of-age drama from director Todd Solondz.

After attending her cousin's funeral, 13-year-old Aviva (played by eight different actors over the course of the story) determines to have as many children as possible, outraging her conservative parents Joyce (Ellen Barkin) and Steve (Richard Masur).

Getting pregnant in one random encouter, Aviva is forced into having an abortion that leaves her sterile.

Running away from home, she finds herself in the company of a strange, fanatically anti-abortion religious group planning to murder a doctor.
