☆ Follows two best friends at an all girl high school and what happens when society and circumstance conspires to keep them apart. Wing and Sylia discover a tender love between them that captures the essence of obsessive first love. Mostly their time at school, and continues into their twenties where they hopefully are free to make choices for their mutual happiness. That the director is a woman shows through with tender love scenes and plenty opportunities for tears on screen and in the audience.
