About the film
Samantha Smart (who also wrote the screenplay) stars as “Al”, a young music therapist who plies her trade by healing troubled adolescent clients with song. When Al encounters Charlie, a traumatized and hard-hearted teenage girl, she finds it hard to make breakthrough and help Charlie have a more positive outlook on life. However, Al slowly-but-surely begins to penetrate Charlie’s tough exterior, and the two find camaraderie when a project comes along that helps the two form a solid bond of friendship. As it turns out, Al has her own trauma-filled past and, as she helps her new client, she is forced to confront her own existential struggles.
