In a suburb of New Zealand in the 1950s, two teenagers, Pauline and Juliet, develop an intense friendship that transcends the boundaries of reality. Both are intelligent and creative girls who feel isolated in a world that seems to misunderstand them. Together, they create a fantasy universe where they escape from the pressures of everyday life, finding solace in their overflowing imagination.
The relationship between Pauline and Juliet becomes increasingly obsessive and dangerous, leading them to create a world filled with dreamlike characters and complex plots that allow them to feel free. However, this unbreakable connection also generates tensions with their families. As their behaviors become more erratic and their dream world intertwines with reality, the situation takes a dark turn.
The environment becomes oppressive when the teenagers' parents begin to suspect the unusual bond between the girls. Their love and loyalty turn into a dangerous force, and what began as an innocent friendship transforms into a narrative of jealousy and desperation. As the pressure mounts, the consequences of their fantastical world are unleashed, culminating in a tragic act that will change their lives forever.
Inspired by true events, this tense and emotional story explores the boundaries of friendship, madness, and the search for identity in a social context that does not accept difference.
