Plot:

Gordon meets Florence and they share an interest in tennis. But Florence has a supremely-ambitious mother (she barely knows her own husband exists) who intends to push her ahead. Florence's tennis career rapidly advances, thanks to Mother's manipulation and a promotion-minded coach; building toward the inevitable conflict between the fulfillment of Mother's dreams...and daughter's.
