SUMMER BODY

Coming-of-age, Drama

Submitted by David Tovar from ONETAKEtovar

Summary:

Eli Acosta supervises his nephew, Micah, to the Mapletons' latest pool party - themed like a Summer Camp - to celebrate the youngest daughter Avery's birthday. Ms. Mapleton recognizes Eli from years past, back when Eli was the young party guest visiting the eldest Mapleton daughter, Jenna. To this day, Eli still struggles with food anxiety and body image issues due to comments spoken to him at this very pool years ago. Does Eli allow the cycle to repeat with Micah, or does he find a way to reframe his nephew's mindset - and by doing so, finally come to terms with his own shame?
