My Girl 2

• Comedy
• Family

Following the loss of her father, eleven-year-old Vada navigates a bittersweet summer in Los Angeles with her eccentric Uncle Phil, driven by a school assignment to write about someone she’s never met – her deceased mother. This isn’t a simple quest for biographical details; it’s a deeply personal excavation of a past shrouded in her father’s quiet grief and her own childhood memories, unfolding against the backdrop of a bustling city and a blossoming connection with a new cousin. The film delicately balances slapstick comedy with poignant moments of vulnerability as Vada confronts difficult truths about her mother’s life and learns to reconcile idealized memories with a more complex reality, ultimately fostering a tentative, hopeful understanding of family and loss.
