Both 28 years old in the year 2000, Freya and Eve are at pivotal moments in their lives—Eve has just (reluctantly) broken up with a long-term boyfriend and Freya wants to settle down and have a child.
As the two women lounge, they talk of cats, poetry, and men before drifting off to explore, in a strange and fluid space, what they truly desire for themselves, or at least what they have been allowed to.
“Brushing their fur is the closest we’ve gotten to washing the feet of God”
“Every time I wake up, it's like something has been taken from me”
“I feel her like a phantom limb”
