Everyone you know will die. Descending upon crow wings into tombs of regret. Ruing mislaid plans. Here, above ground we formulate elaborate strategies for escape. Misaligned vectors guided by naive hopes. Foreign to our bodies. Nobody gets out alive. Everything is plexi-glass. Scarred by shallow inscriptions of normality. #marriage / #children / #death. These are thoughts I have inside my cunt. Processes that emerge. I am not a girl who plays well with others. And yet I still play. Grasping at momentary glimpses of happiness. Basking in stroboscopic ecstasy. Soon there will be no time left. But tonight I will lose myself. Hoping I will never return.

In 1970 Vancouver, thirteen-year-old Charlotte and her best friend, Dawn, are keen to avoid the pitfalls of adolescence. Couldn’t they just skip teenhood altogether, along with its annoying behaviors – showing off just because you have a boyfriend, obsessing about marriage and a ring and matching dining-room furniture? Couldn’t one just learn about life from Jane Austen and spend the days eating breakfast at noon, watching “People in Conflict,” and thrift-store shopping for cool castoffs to tie-dye for the upcoming outdoor hippie music festival?But life becomes more complicated when the girls meet a Texan draft dodger who comes to live with Charlotte’s Quaker family. Tom Ed expands Charlotte’s horizons as they discuss everything from war to civil disobedience to women’s liberation. Grappling with exhilarating and disturbing new ideas, faced with a censorship challenge to her beloved English teacher and trying to decode the charismatic draft dodger himself, Charlotte finds it harder and harder to stick to her unteen philosophy, and to see eye to eye with Dawn.
