Alarmed by the rate at which the young Black men around her are dying, brash Oakland, California, art student Pica (Toby Smith) attempts to preserve their existence in Polaroid snapshots, along the way forging a friendship with a woman in an abusive relationship (April Barnett) and experiencing love, heartbreak, and the everyday threat of violence. Capturing the vibrant community spirit of Oakland in the nineties, Smith crafts both a rare cinematic celebration of Black women's creativity and a moving elegy for a generation of lost African American men.<p style="box-sizing:border-box;width:382px;margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:normal;cursor:text;padding:0px;counter-reset:list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0;text-align:left;white-space:pre-wrap;text-size-adjust:none;line-height:1.5;max-width:100%"> <p style="box-sizing:border-box;width:382px;margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:normal;cursor:text;padding:0px;counter-reset:list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0;text-align:left;white-space:pre-wrap;text-size-adjust:none;line-height:1.5;max-width:100%">INFO<p style="box-sizing:border-box;width:382px;margin:0px;font-style:normal;font-variant-caps:normal;font-weight:400;text-indent:0px;text-transform:none;word-spacing:0px;-webkit-text-stroke-width:0px;text-decoration:none;letter-spacing:normal;cursor:text;padding:0px;counter-reset:list-1 0 list-2 0 list-3 0 list-4 0 list-5 0 list-6 0 list-7 0 list-8 0 list-9 0;text-align:left;white-space:pre-wrap;text-size-adjust:none;line-height:1.5;max-width:100%">The film is in English.
