This bold, stunning exploration of a white mother who undergoes a radical
mastectomy and her Black daughter who embarks on a modeling career reveals the
profound effects of body image and the strain of racial and sexual identity on
their charged, intensely loving bond. At the heart of Onwurah’s brave excursion
into her mother’s scorned sexuality is a provocative interweaving of memory and
fantasy. The filmmaker plumbs the depths of maternal strength and daughterly
devotion in an unforgettable tribute starring her real-life mother, Madge
Onwurah.
