Gia is a young mother with two children in foster care, who embraces her Bay Area community as she fights to reclaim her family. Struggling to work enough hours with court-mandated classes, she’s barely making ends meet. Gia loves her children unconditionally, but how will she give them the future they deserve?

Savanah Leaf’s directorial feature debut is an intimate depiction of a mother’s fear and love.

“A rich and precious portrait of black motherhood…a delicate stunner” -The Hollywood Reporter

“A sublime A24 drama that defies all cliches” -Indiewire

“A terrifically assured debut from writer-director Savanah Leaf” -New York Times
