Awkward and flirty Jewelisa has love on the brain and nothing to lose... Only, she is about to lose her biggest secret as her sister stumbles across her hidden romance. Jewelisa tries to sneak out. Her clean exit is thwarted, when she is caught by her God fearing mother, who shows no restraint in questioning Jewelisa’s birth control choices and commitment to faith. Despite her sister’s loaded hints, hilarious miscommunication continues to ensue, until their family dynamic is shaken in a delightfully unpredictable way. (NZIFF 2021)
