- Synopsis:
Abandoned by her husband, Nora (Brooke Adams) waitresses to keep her head above water while raising two teenagers in a small New Mexico town trailer park. Beautiful and rebellious, Trudi (lone Skye) quits school to work alongside her mother, while her sister Shade (Fairuza Balk) whittles away her time watching old movie matinees. Their life is turned on its head when Trudi finds that she has fallen pregnant after a string of promiscuous relationships and the girls' absent father returns with hopes of mending the relationships he broke when he left. A wonderfully engaging story of the woes of teenagers reaching adulthood, 'Gas, Food Lodging' is a distinctly American portrayal of a mother trying to raise two wayward teens with growing pains, who are learning about love, life and each other. - Actors:
