Women rule in this superb block. A young girl, confused about her sexuality, tries to prove to her summer camp bunkmates that her fake crush on the boy’s counselor isn’t so fake at all. Lennon is dying from terminal cancer so their girlfriend, Dora, convinces them to create a bucket list, but Lennon puts some wild shit on that list. A widow, struggling to readjust to a life of grief, unexpectedly meets a woman whose presence is transformative. On the night before her flight home, a Malaysian woman with a secret finds herself on an impromptu date with another woman. Teetering on the brink of 25, compulsive, pill-popping Crazy Girl attempts to sum up a day in her life for a writing grant application. Free-as-a-bird bisexual Eliana attends her ex-boyfriend's funeral with her girlfriend. Ally, a people-pleasing shy girl and homebody, thinks she's hit the jackpot when she beds her rockstar crush… until she won’t leave.
ANGEL, 64 is a widow, ex- professional cellist and property guardian, living alone in a dilapidated building - a far cry from the life she used to live. ANGEL hasn’t managed well since the death of her wife, obsessively listening to her final voice note for comfort, ignoring calls and texts from family & friends, and most tragically, abandoning her cello completely.
Following the arrival of new tenant, BATHSHEBA; RICH, the guardianship property manager serves ANGEL an eviction notice. Events culminate in RICH showing up unannounced to the house late that night, inebriated and picking a fight. RICH spitefully tells ANGEL that she needs to vacate the property by morning, but in a beautiful act of solidarity, BATHSHEBA appears and diffuses the situation.
Once back in the comfort of her bedroom, ANGEL plays her cello again for the first time in years, allowing her to move through this stage of her grief.
