Sabbatical

A film still from Sabbatical shows an overhead shot of a Black woman curled into a ball in a bathtub. Her arms are crossed in a self-embrace, and she slightly tilts her head upwards with her eyes closed. Her hair is in a low cut.

A banker returns unannounced to her childhood home and her overbearing mother, whom she hardly visits. Unbeknownst to her mother, a life-changing secret brought her back, threatening to upend their relationship forever.
