Girl Breakup

2 - 3 Oct 2026

Girl Breakup

Change starts small, with small acts of rebellion. Most people go through life being polite, even with the closest friends, too scared of speaking their minds, too boxed in, resigned to live life in circles. But when every choice we make every day has become political, it's time to reassess one's life and start making changes. But what if it comes too late? What would you choose? Speak up and face loneliness or stay quiet and keep your friends?

Lisa and Laura are two old estranged friends who run into each other in a hospital waiting room. One hopes for a rekindling of the old friendship, the other would rather die than live in the past. Laura's cheerfulness and optimism clashes with Lisa's serious approach to life and friendship. Who will win in this battle of emotions?
