What is When You Finish Saving The World about?
Evelyn may spend a lot of her time helping strangers in hard times, but when it comes to sharing a connection with her son Ziggy, she struggles. The young and aspiring internet star doesn’t recognize the problems of the real world outside, but doesn’t let that deter him from pursuing a politically conscious young woman at his high school. His mother, meanwhile, attempts to be the parent figure she feels an unassuming teen at her shelter so desperately needs. Emotional, yet funny, this portrait of a mother and son may prove the two have more that connects them than they would first admit.
