Synopsis
What do teenage girls really talk about when they are most vulnerable? How can what is not said aloud be almost as important as what is? In this short drama, Julianne and Sarah attempt to avoid the topic of Julianne's recent abortion, and tentatively reveal what they value about motherhood, as they share their two very different visions for the future.
