ABOUT

Teeth is an intimate portrait of Hawaiian grandmother Angelica’s recovery from abuses suffered throughout her life. Her emotional and psychological healing parallels the fixing of knocked out and rotten teeth. In her words, “Three things have replaced my misery, Faith, Hope, and Aloha … and the greatest of these is Aloha”.
