Girl (12A) (AD)

Senior Community Screening

,Cinema 2
A mother hugs her daughter from behind, standing in front of a bright ferris wheel.

Set in Glasgow, the feature debut by Adura Onashile sees a young mother forced to face the truth of her past life as her daughter approaches adolescence and strives for new freedom.

Premiering at Sundance, this debut sees 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 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.

A stunningly tender film set in Scotland's biggest city, Girl is a raw portrayal of motherhood and adolescence.
