“A recent college graduate and a current disappointment to her mother is faced with her biggest challenge yet... her mommy issues.”
Samira is a recent college graduate and a current disappointment to her mother. Despite her poetic way with words, she can't seem to find the right ones to stand up for herself against her mother's constant dismissal. This results in a dance-off, the massive consumption of goat meat, and a kid figuring out how to want herself.
