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.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
