一对夫妻发现重病的青春期女儿米拉爱上了一个毒贩,二人的关系成为了夫妻俩的噩梦。而濒临死亡的米拉却对生活产生了新的渴望,传统的道德观念也被抛到脑后。米拉向她身边的每个人展示了如何一无所有地生活。这对一个家庭来说,原本可能是一场灾难,但最终却让他们在生活的混乱中找到了平静。When seriously ill teenager Milla falls madly in love with smalltime drug dealer Moses, it's her parents' worst nightmare. But as Milla's first brush with love brings her a new lust for life, things get messy and traditional morals go out the window. Milla soon shows everyone in her orbit - her parents, Moses, a sensitive music teacher, a budding child violinist, and a disarmingly honest pregnant neighbour - how to live like you have nothing to lose. What might have been a disaster for the Finlay family instead leads to letting go and finding grace in the glorious chaos of life. Babyteeth joyously explores how good it is not to be dead yet and how far we will go for love.
