Therapy

Laila is a film student who decides to confront their trauma by attempting to write a script about it. Laila talks to themselves in their head all the time and this time is no different so to address this particular series of incidents Laila splits into two personalities truly embodying the plural nature of their pronouns. Laila interviews not only themselves but a new friend and new roommate as they put into writing their truth, their own form of therapy.
