Friend

Johanne and Ella seemed to be lifelong friends, but when a feeling of mistrust starts to grow between them, the whole friendship is put at risk. They meet after two years apart, to reflect on what went wrong between them. As we go back in time, we see the two girls' different points of views. Is there, two years later, room for understanding, and more importantly, forgiveness?
VENN is a short film about friendship, trust, manipulative relationships, and how there are always two sides to every story.
