Morning Glow (2021)
Given the "unauthorized" name of Morning Glow by her alternative family, Social Services are taking the 8-month-old girl from them. After an ombudsman intervenes, the girl is returned, but the case continues. The media portrays this as petty bourgeois officials using bureaucracy to trouble those with lifestyles they disagree with. Morning Glow now symbolizes the conflict between the state and civil defiance. But where are the boundaries between normal and alternative?
