Whirlpool
Memories come flooding back when, after not speaking for years, Caleb and Blake reconnect at a party in the same small town that brought them together. Weaving in and out of time from high school to present day, they revisit pivotal moments in their lives to try and make sense of a shattered relationship. By examining key elements of adolescent friendship and exploration of sexuality, Whirlpool takes an honest look at a complicated time in everyone's life and questions our ability - or inability - to move on from our past.
