“Ready or not... the future comes just the same.”

Drama

Meg is a gifted but emotionally scarred 18-year-old who finds solace in writing poetry. Mr. Auster, her English teacher, recognizes her talent and encourages her to enter a national poetry contest. As tension at home escalates and Meg struggles to find a way to get to the poetry finals in Florida, Auster's role in her life becomes increasingly complex.

VIBE

A quiet, deeply felt exploration of adolescent yearning and the fragile bonds that form in isolation. It’s a film that lingers, marked by raw emotion and a contemplative, almost poetic, gaze on difficult truths.
