Groove, Slam, work It Back

Friday May 3 at 7:30pm (Canada , 115 minutes)

Groove, Slam, Work It Back gives a glimpse into Sayla and Ishi's grief, as they meet at Sayla's mother's for the new year. When talking about Sayla's late sister, simultaneously Ishi's late girlfriend, they clash: as Sayla withholds information, Ishi prods to know more about the sisters' mystery tradition.
