THIS SCREENING HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO ESSENTIAL REPAIRS - APOLOGIES FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE CAUSED.
Set in Glasgow, Adura Onashile’s debut feature, which premiered at Sundance in 2023, is a story about growing up in a new environment where fear and mistrust prevail.
Grace (Déborah Lukumuena) and her 11-year-old daughter Ama (Le’Shantey Bonsu) are outsiders trying to build a new life in a city where everything feels strange and hostile.
Traumatised by what she has endured, Grace just wants to keep her daughter safe from harm, and Ama is taught to be suspicious of everyone. When Ama makes friends with classmate Fiona (Liana Turner), it only adds to Grace’s anxiety that their special bond is under threat.
