Living with her teenage children and her own mother in a too-small Scarborough apartment, a woman seeks to break free of generational cycles of family violence and trauma in this beautifully realized debut feature by Toronto’s Karen Chapman. Olunike Adeliyi gives a vivid performance as Beverly-Jean, a widow whose behavior suggests she has experienced violence but dares not speak about it. Yet when she comes to see the trouble that it causes her kids, she begins a process of healing that will affect everyone around her. Both poignant and perceptive as a story about the effects of violence, Chapman’s drama extends such care and empathy to its characters that viewers will feel like they’re part of the same warm embrace.
