    A beautiful memory of what could have been, might have been. Ephraim meets the widow of his teenage best friend Badger, and they share their own very different sides of the relationships they had with him. Written with sympathy, honesty, and some humor, this is a touching portrayal of what forms love can take.

    A great mix of coming-of-age and revisiting-the-past! A powerful story about connection and loss. I loved the humor sprinkled throughout the script, as well!
