Eleven-year-old Ama and her mother, Grace, take solace in the gentle but isolated world they obsessively create. But Ama's thirst for life and her need to grow and develop, challenges the rules of their insular world and gradually forces Grace to reckon with a past she struggles to forget.
Adura Onashile's debut feature is an impressively delicate story about trauma and coming-of-age. The film takes us to Glasgow, Scotland and - based on the filmmaker's own experience with her mother - offers a “rewarding study of alienation that refracts the immigrant experience through a refreshingly different lens” (Deadline).
