Death is fleeting... Love lasts forever.

2009106 min6.5 / 10

A melancholic teen romance undone by social pressure and domestic trauma, where written intimacy cannot survive the harsh realities of adolescence.

A popular high school girl is harassed by a delinquent boy until they are placed in creative writing class together. Through written words, they create a bond, but tragically a bond that cannot withstand her social pressures or his brutal home life.
