In a quiet Newfoundland fishing town where tradition reigns supreme, Eliza keeps her life beautifully compartmentalized, until it all unravels.
From Canadian writer-director Melanie Oates (Body & Bones), Sweet Angel Baby is a powerful second feature that explores what happens when private lives clash with public expectations.
Eliza (Michaela Kurimsky) is beloved in her small fishing community - churchgoer, helpful daughter, hometown girl. But behind closed doors (and deep in the woods), she runs an anonymous, suggestive social media account that no one suspects. Not even Toni (Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers), her secret partner and an outsider who’s just barely tolerated by the town.
When one impulsive decision threatens to expose everything, Eliza’s carefully curated life begins to collapse, and the town that once embraced her reveals just how conditional its love really was.
What to expect:
