S and L, longtime friends whose bond has recently shattered, meet over and over in the hopes of hearing an apology from one other — and thus, a total acknowledgement that the breakdown was their friend’s fault, not their own, 100%.

Frustrated, angry, dejected, and just plain sad, they transform — they become dozens of objects, parts of nature, and states of being, performing their poignantly mundane and strange apologies to one another instead of acknowledging their own feelings. Meanwhile, each tries to figure out what exactly happened between their friendship and how they move through the world now — moving closer to the possibility of acknowledging how significant the breakdown was between them.
