16-year-old Claudia has grown up in isolation from the outside world. Stranded on a remote property after her mother’s death, she is shocked when Grace, a spirited local teen, appears in the garden like a mirage, a breath of fresh, sugary air. The pair find in each other the support, love and intimacy they need, and teach each other the restorative power of human connection. But their idyllic peace is a fragile one as the adult world closes in and threatens their secret summer love.

I adore people who also grew up reading Rookie Mag ✿ Such a beautiful and warm looking and feeling movie. I think this might've been Katie Found's debut feature, in which case my heart is so happy and full for her. What an amazing film to be your first feature!
