The film, which was shot in the city, stars French actor Déborah Lukumuena (Divines, Robust) as Grace, a mum who starts a new life in Scotland with her daughter Ama (Le'Shantey Bonsu). Traumatised by her past, Grace just wants to keep her daughter safe from harm. Ama is told to trust nobody. When Ama makes friends with a classmate, it only adds to Grace’s anxiety and fear that their special bond is under threat.
Festival co-director Allison Gardner said: “I am delighted and honoured that we will open Glasgow Film Festival with Adura Onashile’s Girl, a powerful and poignant feature debut set in Glasgow.”
Tickets for the festival will go on sale on January 16.
