What does it mean to oppose harmful traditions without losing your family in the process? When Fatou's mother comes to visit from Senegal, she brings with her clothes and memories, as well as the unspoken expectation that Fatou's 7-year-old daughter will soon be made a woman. Against the backdrop of a quiet, intergenerational conflict, Fatou struggles to find the right words and her own clarity.
