Dr. Christine hires Gloria as her son's nanny in Kumasi. Gloria enjoys the work, but Christine wants her to aspire to more. Unfortunately, Gloria believes she can only become Somebody by marrying up. This honest glimpse of one adolescent is as particular to the well-detailed Ghanaian setting as it is universal in subject and theme. Glos.
