Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Frances Ha is a 2012 indie Dramedy film directed by Noah Baumbach, starring (and co-written by) Greta Gerwig.Frances Halladay (Gerwig) is a 27-year-old aspiring dancer living in New York City with her best friend Sophie (Mickey Sumner). The problem is that her dancing career has not been as successful as she had hoped, and her relationship with Sophie is becoming increasingly strained. Frances breaks up with her boyfriend Dan (Michael Esper) because she is not ready to move out of the apartment she shares with Sophie; however, unbeknown to her, Sophie is about to move out anyway. This is only the beginning of a long, difficult journey to adulthood for Frances.The story is mainly told in an episodic, Slice of Life fashion. We get glimpses of Frances' life as she hangs out (and/or argues) with her friends, works with the dancing company, visits her parents and dances all the way home after getting a tax rebate. Frances sees the people around her growing up, settling down, finding careers and getting married, while her own life doesn't seem to be going anywhere. She symbolically revisits her youth at her parents' house in Sacramento, then by working for a while in her old college, with the constant question being when and how Frances is going to find her place in the adult world.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })

Bittersweet Ending: Frances has to learn to live away from and grow up without Sophie, who's moved on with Patch regardless of how truly happy the two are together. Frances still considers her her best friend even though they'll inevitably move apart, but she's satisfied with her new clerical work, her own apartment as she pursues her passion for dance through choreography and teaching, and there remains a possible relationship with Benji.

Break-Up/Make-Up Scenario: Between Frances and Sophie, friendship-wise, though their getting back together as friends seems neither permanent nor the making of a happy ending — it's clear that Frances has to move on without Sophie.
