‘Nina’ is the story of a girl searching for answers about the mother who abandoned her as a baby. Her search causes her to come into conflict with her dad, Tom, who raised her alone all his life and who doesn’t understand her fascination with the woman who left them. Nina looks in all the right places but answers aren’t easy to come by and Nina realizes that her mother seems to exist only as the distant shadow looming over her father. The story comes to a head the night of Nina’s 16th birthday when she finally, for better or worse, answers the question of what happened to her mother.
