To All the Ways We Say Goodbye
Full length. Cast of 5.
After the poorly-timed break-up of her last relationship, Ginny, a Disabled woman, realizes she doesn’t know how to stay in a relationship. Between the ticking time-bomb of her deteriorating body, and the haunting voice of her mother, Ginny needs a partner if she’s going to maintain independence long-term. So when Ben comes along, Ginny finds herself going against her better judgment, determined to make this relationship the one that lasts. To All the Ways We Say Goodbye is a meditation on disability, grief, and what it means to tell someone you "love" them.
