Every line across our face tells a story—we’ve laughed them, cried them, earned them. Inspired by Dolly Parton’s reminder that a life fully lived is nothing to hide, this block brings together films that honor the beauty of aging, love, and the wisdom that comes with both.
As DEBORAH’s (mid 20s, Nigerian-American) friends double dutch in the Atlanta summer street heat, Deborah and her sister ESTHER (late 20s-Nigerian-American) pluck flower petals nearby. Esther correctly guesses that Deborah’s friends will beg Deborah to use her magic powers and disappear them to another realm in the double dutch ropes.
