Synopsis

Coming-of-age meets coming-of-middle-age in this tender exploration of what it means to reinvent yourself. A teenage girl runs away from a life of boredom and poverty, with dreams of becoming a smoke jumper. A middle-aged mother escapes to the mountains to explore her artistic side.

Now lying to each other, and themselves, they must confront what kind of people they want to be and-when a near-fatal accident forces them to face the truth-who they really are.
