THE THINGS TO COME

Biel and Sara, both ten years old, are enjoying the final carefree days of summer. They spend their afternoons by the water, play hide-and-seek with other children, put make-up on each other, and listen to music. Then everything changes when a simple children’s game puts their deep friendship to the test. Biel suddenly doesn’t know what to think or feel.
