CFF: Girl

Eleven-year-old Ama and her mother, 24-year-old Grace, have built themselves an intimate but isolated world in which to exist in Scotland.

But, on the precipice of teenagehood, will Ama’s hope for more freedom unravel their bond? Award-winning Glasgow-based artist Adura Onashile creates a striking portrait of a mother reconciling with her past, the realities of immigration, and finding unconditional love at the core.

"Adura Onashile makes a promising feature-length debut" - Guy Lodge, Variety.
