Turtles All the Way Down is based on the John Green novel of the same name, which follows Aza Holmes, a teenager with obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and anxiety. Merced plays Aza in the film adaptation.
“It’s not easy being Aza, but she’s trying… trying to be a good daughter, a good friend, and a good student, all while navigating an endless barrage of invasive, obsessive thoughts that she cannot control. When she reconnects with Davis, her childhood crush, Aza is confronted with fundamental questions about her potential for love, happiness, friendship, and hope,” an official synopsis reads.
Cree, Felix Mallard, Judy Reyes, Maliq Johnson and J. Smith-Cameron also star.
