The haunting and powerful story of two sisters (Mary Stuart Masterson and Jena Malone) left to take care of one another. Their struggles reflect how we all feel on some level as we venture out into the world on our own. The younger sister looks optimistically to the future with a creative journal where she writes and draws images of love and inspiration. The older sister struggles with her identity but keeps a brave face towards the future. Ultimately, the new world of hope that opens up for the sisters leaves us with the possibility of a stronger, kinder future.
