Synopsis

An exploration of Cicely, a young African-American actress, as she journeys towards accepting the body she once despised. The comedic tale is articulated by the Cicely's dilemmas: should she or shouldn't she disrobe for a nude scene in her boyfriend's pretentious art film for which she has been cast? And how can she, an insanely uptight chick, possibly strip for the camera when she still loathes her own image?.. even though she's recently dropped 57 pounds.
