Crystal, a wife and mother, is the owner of a bookstore in the Bedford Stuyvesant neighborhood in Brooklyn. Her eight-year-old daughter, Corinne, enjoys spending blissful summer afternoons playing in front of the store—that is, until a teenage boy steals her bike. Crystal calls the police, a move that ignites simmering tensions between the neighbourhood’s traditional residents and those who, like Crystal and her family, are part of the new upwardly mobile migration to the area.

Trinidad & Tobago premiere.
