What a Girl Wants
Trying to fit in. Born to stand out.
Directed by Dennie Gordon
Produced by Sloane Square Films, Di Novi Pictures
A warm, upbeat teen comedy about self-discovery and family reconciliation, built on charm, humor, and the journey toward belonging.
American Daphne Reynolds heads to Europe in search of the father she's never met. But instead of finding a British version of her boho mother, she learns the love of her mom's life is an uptight politician. The only problem now is that her long-lost father is engaged to a fiercely territorial social climber with a daughter who makes Daphne's life miserable.
