August Visitor

When her widowed mother has a male friend over for dinner, an observant Nigerian American teenager acts out, setting up a clash that ultimately leads her to a deeper understanding of her mother. Ifeyinwa Arinze’s beautifully observed slice of diaspora life is a full sensory experience, in which food, fabrics, and the smallest of gestures all come together to tell a poignant story of family and culture.

Starring Odera Adimorah, Isley Key Brison, Lauralie Mufute
