Howl
Daisy and Lila are best friends. The two 16-year-olds have always shared everything, but now cracks are beginning to show. Daisy has started her periods while Lila is still waiting for hers and feels left behind. At a summer house party in the suburbs, Lila breaks the promise to stick together and quickly ditches Daisy for a boy. Daisy drifts to the pool where she meets Drew. Confident and magnetic, Drew is everything Daisy would like to be. When Drew leans in for a kiss, Daisy feels something shift inside her. Caught up in the moment, she ignores Lila’s calls for help. But later, when the two are reunited, Daisy begins to doubt whether she did the right thing. A story about friendship, identity and the moments that test what we mean to each other.
