Enter Viola, portrayed by Giovanna Mezzogiorno, who happened to be Amanda’s childhood companion. However, there’s a catch: Viola prefers to confine herself within the confines of her room, reluctant to venture outside. Amanda recognizes this as an opportunity to rekindle their friendship and believes that if she can convince Viola to be her friend once again, everything will fall perfectly into place in her life.

Or so she thinks.

Word on the Street: The film is directed by Jesse Short Bull and Laura Tomaselli and produced by Sarah Eagle Heart, Mark Ruffalo, and Marisa Tomei.
