The first narrative feature by Olympic volleyball player Savanah Leaf concerns a pregnant mother trying to regain custody of her kids.
With lead performance by Tia Nomore as photographer’s assistant Gia, Leaf digs into the familiar landscape of Black mother facing an oppressive legal system and pulls from it the most unexpected and humanizing details.
It’s a quiet but compelling film, which never loosens its grip over its story, while using intimate register.
