After “Mina” (Yaz Canli), a gifted artist experiencing homelessness, loses the last thing she loves, her adorable dog “Burrito,” she is forced to battle through the downward spiraling journey of a mental health crisis to find home. Lost between fragments of her Muslim past and harsh realities of her present— from substance abuse and the loss of Faith to abusive voices in her head— Mina must find a way to reconcile with deep grief and accept the kindness of others so she can start life anew. Eye-opening and gripping, Mina’s journey is the raw and unflinching story of a woman’s battle with mental illness, life on the streets, and the courage it takes to find her way home.
