The slight but well-meaning Sweetness in the Belly is easy enough to stomach
SWEETNESS IN THE BELLY (2019). Pictured: Dakota Fanning. Abandoned in Africa as a child, following a visit to the Sufi shrine in Bilal al Habash, Lilly (Dakota Fanning) is taken in by the shrine's spiritual leader Great Abdal and brought up there as a devoted Muslim. At 17, she leaves for Ethiopia, where she falls in love with an idealistic doctor. With civil war looming, danger grows. Lilly is forced to flee to England. She finds home in a friendship with Amina (Wunmi Mosaku), a refugee from Ethiopia who has fled the same war, and together they begin a mission to reunite people with their scattered families. We soon discover that Lilly's mission isn't purely selfless and Amina has buried a secret that she is trying to flee. Courtesy of eOne.
