Trailer
The language in this film may be offensive to some people. Viewer discretion is advised.
When tragedy strikes the graduating class of a theatre school, the future actors are forced to reassess their relationship with art, with acting, with the sacred. What was at first an exercise in a theatre class becomes an intimate and profound film in which the characters examine their own ambitions and the layers of fiction that underlie their lives.
