Memoir of a Veering Storm

Generation 14plus 2022
© Foss Productions
A violent storm is on its way, and Anna has an important appointment. This morning, like every other day, her mother takes her to the school grounds, which Anna promptly leaves by jumping over the fence. Today, however, she is going to have an abortion. Grainy, warm 16mm shots show Anna, her boyfriend and her best friend fantasising about names that are never given, having surgery under general anaesthesia and returning to everyday life.
