As a screenwriter who no longer has a single trace of the first five or six screenplays I wrote, I especially connect to this documentary about lost creations and hopes. The film follows several young female filmmakers and the odd grown man who attempted to help them bring their first film to life, only to vanish one day with all their hard work.
The journey of the girls to make the film, then learn to deal with its loss, and finally to have it come crashing back into their lives twenty years later (albeit in a transformed state) is moving and heartbreaking. It's almost a reverse heist film, or a heist film from the POV of the victims.
A powerful true story about a trio of brilliant young women whose dreams were deferred by a deceitful older man, it's a film that artists and art aficionados alike can appreciate. It's also filled with heart and humor that will capture nearly any audience.
