Kayla & Eddie, en Français

Institute History

Description

Hotelier Kayla Williams is up for a huge career opportunity in Paris when her recovering addict father Eddie shows up unannounced. As Kayla struggles to push a work project forward, Eddie jumps in to help, hoping to prove himself as a supportive father. Though suspicious of his sudden presence, Kayla cautiously lets Eddie back into her life as they navigate Paris’s French African community, and unpack years of strife stemming from his addiction. Testing what holds us together when shame is mixed up with pride, the film explores what it means to be a family in recovery.
