Synopsis
Three lifelong friends are at crucial stages in their lives. Mona is coming to terms with an unsatisfying relationship, Susan is about to be offered a breakthrough acting opportunity, and Michele has a child to raise on her own. They question what it might mean to be a woman, if a woman is defined by her role as a mother, and if one can truly find where girlhood ends and adulthood begins. On their road to self discovery, Mona and Susan wonder if their close bond means they could be each other’s ‘zammie’.
