GIRL

In this coming of age drama, 11 year old Ama and her mother, Grace, take solace in the gentle but isolated world they obsessively create. But Ama’s growing up threatens the boundaries of their tenderness, and forces Grace to reckon with a past she struggles to forget.

GIRL is currently in production with BBC Film, BFI and Screen Scotland. GIRL was developed by BBC Film, iFeatures and Scottish Film Talent Network and their Write4Film programme.
