When We Speak, We Speak to Strangers
Two estranged sisters are about to celebrate the birthdays they’ve been waiting for, until they realize the fantasies they had for their adult selves don’t match reality…
SIENNA is a visual artist struggling to make a living. Throughout her twenties, she couldn’t wait to turn thirty to “have it all figured out.” Weeks away from her thirtieth, Sienna is fired from her job and feels more lost than ever. A chance encounter with a stranger may alter the course of her life.
ISLA is a successful supermodel — well, former supermodel if her contracts are anything to go by — about to turn thirty-five. For years, she’s been waiting for this birthday to start a family with her husband, Bryce. The only problem is, she’s running out of time to tell her husband the truth.
Before the sisters blow out the candles at their dreaded annual birthday brunch, their masks begin to crack. They’re forced to examine why their lives don’t measure up to the ideals of their younger selves…
