Girl + Q&A

Mother and daughter Grace and Ama have established a deep bond that’s protected them from outsiders, but as they try to settle in Glasgow, things begin to change.

Ama’s approaching adolescence and growing curiosity set off reminders of a past that Grace has been trying to erase.

The comforting fairytale-like story that Grace has been telling Ama for years is shaken by the memories — their sheltered world begins to erode from the inside.

To give them both a chance to really start living, Grace has to let Ama grow up.

We are delighted to welcome director Adura Onashile for a post-screening Q&A.
