Spanning several nonlinear chapters in the life of a people-pleasing English professor named Agnes, Eva Victor’s wondrously delicate and wry debut feature is an incisive exploration of the ways that trauma ripples through a life and the slow ways it heals (and sometimes doesn’t). Winner of the Sundance 2025 Waldo Salt Screenwriting Award.
