Mango Inn

Mango Inn

Director(s): Charmain N Johnson

Runtime: 1:32:00 minutes

Language: English

Genre: Unspecified

Festival Category: Narrative Feature

Synopsis

Gina—a tough yet tender Afro - Latina mother of three—is forced to confront the unthinkable: she and her children are
homeless and living in a storage unit in West Palm Beach. With her family estranged due to her interracial marriage,
Gina’s lifeline comes in the form of an unexpected job offer at the Mango Inn, a quirky bed-and-breakfast run by a gentle
Jewish man named David and his gruff, dying Southern partner, Warren.

While Gina tries to build a new life for her children, she’s pulled into a bitter emotional tug-of-war with her imprisoned
husband, Tony—a charismatic manipulator who, despite being behind bars, continues to exert control over Gina's
decisions. He pressures her to turn down the inn job, questions the environment she’s raising their kids in, and dangles
the illusion of a better future upon his release. Gina is torn between her loyalty to the past and the desperate need to
break the cycle for her children’s future.

As she faces prejudice from Warren, tension from her teenage son AJ—who flirts with street life—and rejection from
her own mother, Gina turns to the only tools she has left: faith, food, and unbreakable grit. Slowly, she begins to heal old
wounds, reclaims her identity, and transforms the Mango Inn into a sanctuary for more than just guests.
A poignant, culturally rich story about resilience, identity, and the power of self-determination, Mango Inn explores how
one woman rises from the margins to redefine what it means to be family, free, and finally at home.
