Sweet Body
Award-Winning Short Film by Niki Sterner

Sweet Body is a dark comedy about an over-the-top, perfectionistic mom who’s doing everything except feeling what’s really going on. At her daughter’s 18th birthday party, she serves funky shrimp salad, gives questionable college advice, and tries way too hard to relate, all because she wants one last moment of connection before her daughter leaves for college. But when she can’t express what she truly feels, it comes out sideways through awkward, quirky misfires that threaten the very relationship she’s trying to protect.
