Private Project

Margot

A girl and her insecurities about herself and her future.

Margot spends her days in her room looking in the mirror, trying to like herself, and reading pages of a book she could never finish.

As a teenager, it's hard to accept yourself and find your place in the world. It often seems easier to remain still without facing your problems, exactly like Margot does with that book she will never finish.

The sudden encounter with an old woman, however, could change the way our young protagonist sees life.
