Mabel

Mabel centers on Callie, whose only friends are the plants and trees that surround her home. When her dad’s job moves the family to a sterile subdivision, she is utterly isolated—except for her best friend, a potted plant named Mabel. To Callie, Mabel is a peer, a fellow being, maybe overlooked or unseen, but still very much alive. The film explores the challenges sixth-grader Callie faces as she struggles with isolation in upstate New York from Virginia with her parents, Angela (Christine Ko) and David (Quincy Dunn-Baker).
