...children's futures; sadly, finding help to care for those children may be the single greatest problem that some immigrant women face. In the women's home countries, kinfolk often help to care for young children.

...hots for me!" This takes some explaining. Marty's pal, an aged, eccentric scientist (Christopher Lloyd), has fashioned a De Lorean car into a functioning time machine. Suddenly, Marty finds himself in 1955, in the bedroom of the 17-year-old girl (Lea Thompson) who will be his mother, if -- big if -- he can deflect her crush on him toward the nice-guy nerd (Crispin Glover) who will be his father.
