About
Careful Not to Cry is the feature debut of director Erik Sutch.
Synopsis
Claire is an abortion doctor living in a post-industrial America where football no longer exists, but TRAP laws still do. After restrictive state regulations force Claire to shut down her clinic, she drives a taxi while waiting to reopen. The senator who was instrumental in passing the legislation dies in her backseat, and his wife and daughter come out of the woodwork and into Claire’s life.
