Description
It’s 1999. Mara and Ruth Glass are teenaged sisters, a drama kid and a punk loner, trapped inside the bedroom where their mother attempted suicide earlier that evening. As the girls piece together the insidious motivators that have driven their mother’s life and possible death, the portrait of a woman destroyed by society, misogyny, Hollywood, men and diet culture emerges. The girls playact, mimic, obfuscate, blame, and physically and verbally spar in an attempt to understand her, themselves and their entropic universe. As they anticipate the phone call with the news of their mother’s fate, they predict the dark world rapidly approaching on “the other side of the century,” which leads to the reveal of a disturbing shared secret.
