Plot
editAva and her mother Faye both have a pernicious disease that will one day take their lives. They are also mutually joined by an unconditional love for one another, a passion for the arts, and a belief that magic does exist. Ava moved back into her mother's house three years ago to care for her, and ever since then, she has witnessed the deterioration of her mother's health and all she can really do is try to keep her mother from becoming depressed and devitalized. But one day, Faye makes a shocking announcement that propels Ava into a tailspin. When rare guests start to arrive and unexpected events start to happen, Ava is unable to deal with reality. She cries herself to sleep in her mother's arms and escapes to a dream world filled with old friends and long forgotten desires.[2]

Production notes
editVimeo acquired Marina Rice Bader's film as part of their effort for a more gender-inclusive film program. Vimeo's 'Share the Screen' initiative is designed to try and close the immense gender gap in the entertainment industry by promoting films, workshops and interviews that provide a strong female voice. This is Rice Bader's fifth film by her production company Soul Kiss Films, which aims to make movies by women and for women.[3] The movie premiered at the 2016 Outfest Los Angeles LGBT Film Festival, and the film was then made available on Vimeo On Demand the day after the festival[4][5]
