Description

Sixteen-year-old Bri is on the verge of a significant soccer opportunity when the COVID-19 pandemic forces her into isolation. As she grapples with the sudden disruption, her emotions intensify—anxiety, anger, and sadness—manifesting in surreal ways. Her family members transform into mimes, embodying the very emotions she struggles to suppress. Trapped in a silent, monochrome world, Bri faces the overwhelming presence of these mimes. Their exaggerated expressions and movements mirror her internal chaos, pushing her to the brink. Yet, amidst this turmoil, a message from her best friend Skye breaks through the silence, offering Bri support.As Bri learns to confront and embrace her emotions, the mimes dissipate, and color and sound return to her world. Bri steps back onto the soccer field, emotionally healed, ready to face the future with renewed strength.
