After suffering from a personal crisis and stepping away from music, she is ready to return. But as the day of her debut draws closer, she realises the dress she is meant to wear does not represent her. She then turns to her ex-friend, world-renowned costume designer Sam Anselm, played by Michaela Coel, to make her outfit, and chaos ensues.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">On Thursday (April 23), we celebrated the film\u2019s release with A24 by hosting a screening at Picturehouse Central.
