Actor/director Nana Mensah plays Sarah, a second-generation Ghanaian-American woman, who feels the obligations and expectations from her immigrant family. When her mother dies she is tasked with taking over the management of her mother’s Christian bookstore, welcoming her estranged father who is visiting from Ghana and arranging the Ghanaian rituals of death and grief. Mensah humorously expresses an exhausted disdain for her impossibly demanding family and slowly allows herself to welcome a quiet friendship with an unexpected companion. This film is funny and emotionally satisfying, a love letter to immigrant daughters.
