Based on Alysia Abbott’s acclaimed memoir, Fairyland tells the deeply personal story of a daughter growing up in 1970s San Francisco under the care of her father, Steve Abbott, a poet and activist who came out as gay after the sudden death of her mother. As Steve embraces a bohemian lifestyle, Alysia struggles with the unconventional freedom he offers and the challenges of finding her own identity. Their bond is tested across decades — from the vibrant world of artists and writers to the devastating impact of the AIDS crisis that ultimately claims Steve’s life. Starring Emilia Jones, Scoot McNairy, Cody Fern, Maria Bakalova, Bella Murphy, introducing Nessa Dougherty, with Adam Lambert and Geena Davis. In theaters October 10.

00:02Was my wife in the car?
00:05Daddy?
00:11So, California?
00:13I know a few people out there in San Francisco.
00:18Does your dad like boys or girls?
00:24Watch the boob tube. Don't answer the door.
00:27You're neglecting me.
00:30I'm not neglecting you.
00:32Teaching you independence.
00:34What are those?
00:38Why do you only have boyfriends and never girlfriends?
00:42Your mother was my favorite girl.
00:44And I could never love another girl as much as I loved her.
00:48Who was the man who answered the phone?
00:50That's Eddie Bonnie.
00:51And does he live there too?
00:52Yes.
00:53And he has balls.
00:57We could raise Alicia.
00:58She's still young.
01:00It's not too late for her to have a real family.
01:02She has a real family.
01:04Yeah!
01:10One, two, three, graduation!
01:14Why did you ever say something?
01:16When you keep a secret about something for so long, it becomes a part of you.
01:20When I was your age, I couldn't be the person that I wanted to be.
01:24And that kind of thing can really eat you up as a kid.
01:28I just didn't want you to be raised the way that I was raised.
01:32How did I raise such a normal girl?
01:44Huh?
01:45Where did I screw up?
01:46You really want me to go down the list?
01:48Because we'll probably miss the party.
01:50Way to go up.
01:52.
