SYNOPSIS

Lenore Miller (Mia Kaplan) is an overweight, insecure teen whose talent for fashion is discovered by her confident, plus-sized classmate Kayla (Jemima Yevu), forcing her into the spotlight—and into the path of both bullies and new friends. But her image-conscious mother Rachel’s (Missi Pyle) fears and Lenore’s own deep self-loathing prevent her from wearing her own designs. Will Lenore ever feel the self-love she inspires in others? Written and Directed by Claire Ayoub, and also starring Rainn Wilson and Jolene Purdy.
