STARRING

Based on Toni Jordan’s international bestselling novel, ADDITION follows Grace Lisa Vandenberg, who finds comfort in numbers, routine and the life of Nikola Tesla. By the time she meets Seamus at her local supermarket, however, the carefully ordered structure of her world is already beginning to unravel. Falling for him becomes the catalyst for Grace to reckon with her past, her mental health and the attachments she has been unable to release. To make room for love, she must also learn to accept herself - not as a diagnosis or a problem to be solved, but as a complex and evolving work in progress. At its heart, ADDITION is a warm, offbeat celebration of difference and family - and of a woman discovering that she does not need to be fixed in order to love or be loved.
