Beginners director Mike Mills' latest features several generations of women and some of the best actresses working today. So check out Annette Bening, Elle Fanning and Greta Gerwig in the first teaser trailer for 20th Century Women.

It's 1979, and California's ever-changing seaside town of Santa Barbara is a complicated place to grow up in for the teen son of Dorothea (Bening), whose world is changed forever by the arrival of Billy Crudup's former-hippy-cum-handyman.

As the boarder living in the bungalow outside single Dorothea's home, he attracts the attention of not only Bening, but also Fanning, playing Julie, a provocative friend of the teen lad, and Gerwig's punk photographer Abbue.

“The film is an ode to the women who raised me; my mom, my sisters, the girls I was in love with or looked up to at school and in the punk rock scene where I really learned about the world,” Mills told Variety. The movie hits US screens around Christmas and will be out in the UK early next year.
