Drama

In a small seaside town, two schoolgirls are assaulted by a middle-aged man in a motel. Mia, a teenager who was working on reception that night, is the only witness. For fear of losing her job, she says nothing. Meanwhile, 12-year-old Wen, one of the victims, finds that her troubles have only just begun. Trapped in a world that offers them no safety, Mia and Wen will have to find their own way out.

VIBE

This film feels like a heavy, suffocating blanket, yet beneath the dread, a quiet strength emerges. It's a stark, unflinching look at vulnerability and the desperate search for agency in a world that fails its young.
