When Chyna’s boyfriend Raoul becomes increasingly violent, she decides to pack up their baby Sugar and leave. But he doesn't let her go easily. We follow Chyna as she breaks free from old patterns, violence and everything she's ever known.

SUGAR is the debut film of writer and director Amira Duynhouwer. A film about the vicious cycle of violence (against women) behind closed doors. A compelling story about a young woman who becomes entangled in a complex and violent relationship, with  no way out. We show that anyone can end up in such a relationship and that these patterns are repeated from generation to generation.
