Trifles

Undeterred by the suffocating requirements of discretion in a multicultural environment, Angelina grows into a walking questionnaire; making everyone concerned. However, not everyone becomes as concerned as Angelina’s father, Oliver. Knowing the unnerving racial questions his daughter bluntly asks, Oliver makes it his life-long endeavor to find out why his daughter talks like a forty-year old lady trapped in ten-year old girl’s body.

Knowing that his daughter’s best friend is Sudanese-Canadian, Oliver believes Angelina’s Sudanese friend (Adut) is the cause of his daughter’s strange racial blathers. As Oliver realizes that his study of the little girl has led to obsession, Jacqueline loses her memory in a car accident, Norton, Angelina’s tutor, dies of car accident, Adut is threatened with expulsion from the school after a fight, and Ayen's family gets mysterious visits from police officers. Oliver and his daughter further suffocate with discretion as suspicion fills the air.
