‘Queen of Glory’ is the story of Sarah Obeng, the brilliant child of Ghanaian immigrants, who is quitting her Ivy League PhD program to follow her married lover to Ohio. When her mother dies suddenly, she bequeaths her daughter a Christian bookstore in the Pelham Parkway section of the Bronx where Sarah was raised. A follow-up on the classic immigrant’s tale, Queen of Glory provokes laughter and empathy, as its heroine is reborn through her inheritance. Written, Directed by and starring Nana Mensah (star of Netflix's The Chair and Bonding) the film is a charming New York set, quarter-life crisis comedy in the vein of FRANCES HA, APPROPRIATE BEHAVIOUR and THE WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD.
