What happens in Tallulah from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 15 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 5-minute read.
Spoilers ahead
Tallulah lives in a worn-down van, roaming across America with her boyfriend, Nico, surviving by stealing credit cards and staying one step ahead of trouble. Their nomadic life feels liberating to Tallulah, but it’s fragile and risky, built on a thin line between freedom and danger.
When Nico decides it’s time to go home to his mother, Tallulah is unsettled and stubbornly insists she won’t change her way of life. The next morning, she wakes to the painful realization that Nico has left without a word. The sting of abandonment lands heavy, and Tallulah quickly shifts from protest to desperation as she tries to picture a future without him.
