Summaries

A film that explores body image and societal beauty standards through the eyes of a young Black woman on a journey towards self-worth.

An African American woman living away from her family in Los Angeles yearns to be recognized for more than her physical attributes. In cultivating the friendship of a male office mate, she aspires to a relationship where romance is not a factor, seeking someone who can "see her as she is," rather than see only what he wants to see.
