Nefertiti's Prodigy is a funny, hilarious but bitter sweet romantic comedy, about a big girl who escapes the trap of self pity by learning belly dancing. Sheryl finally hit rock bottom. She lost her job and her partner and to boot has to work as a cleaner for her abusive mother’s friends. Her mother is a nasty critic and gossip who is fast driving Sheryl to obesity with her relentless criticism. Sheryl eats to drown her sorrows, drinks to forget he mother’s humiliations, and lives in a fantasy world, obsessing over her sexual desire, an American wrestler on television. She spends all her time watching matches. Sheryl is unloved, full of self-pity, totally out of shape and trapped in a life that can only lead to self-destruction. But things start changing for Sheryl when she meets Nefertiti, a belly dancing teacher that has taught her that big curvy girls are sexy too; it is all about self-confidence. Sheryl’s dancing is outstanding and she unleashes her sensuality and beauty so the extra pounds no longer matter on the dance floor. When Nefertiti invites Sheryl to join her in a performance for the American Wrestler she idolizes, it’s the opportunity of a life time to finally meet the man she has “cum” to love from afar. Finally she could make her mother swallow her words, show everyone she is not a fat loser, and get chance to shine, but will she have the courage to go through with it when she is on the stage? This funny romantic comedy is full of interesting characters and funny scenes and is set in Scotland. If you loved Bridget Jones Mad about the Boy book, or Big Girl Panties, or Cuban Fury this comedy is for you.
