Scenario
The Taste of Mango , Chloe Abrahams’ debut feature, is an enveloping, hypnotic, urgent personal meditation on family, memory, identity, violence, and love. It centers on three extraordinary women: the director’s mother, Rosanna; her grandmother Jean; and the director herself. Their stories, by turns difficult and exultant, testify to the intricate and ever-changing nature of inheritance and the ways in which we simultaneously hurt and protect those we love.
