Emira is accused of kidnapping while out with the child one night, and the interaction is caught on film by a sympathetic bystander. This begins a chain reaction that leads to a reexamination of several lives. This work instead feels like a marathon storytelling session with a friend. It touches on the stickiness of transactional relationships, the reality of growing up, and the societal complexities of race and power. Show less

Bea gets invited to be the first plus-sized woman to star in a TV reality dating competition, and while she knows she won’t find true love, she could use the boost to her fashion brand (and a distraction for her broken heart). But as the cameras roll, she is forced to face down judgement, ridicule, and expectations amidst over-the-top dates and international travel with a line-up of men who feel like fantasies (a sexy French chef, a sardonic professor, a playful younger man) as she ultimately discovers the truth behind the fairytale, and the reality of falling in love.
