Sweet Alma runs a beauty parlor in her Brooklyn home while raising her daughter, Rainbow an audacious teen who dances to break free from her strict catholic school, when her Aunt Ruby comes into town, Rainbow gets a lesson in living life to the fullest.

  In many ways, the film is an homage to elegant Black Women of vintage America, such as Bille Holiday…
