Sweet Bonnie Beau (New)

Fiona has just completed her lifelong dream of starring as Mother Abbess in The Sound of Music, but because of the pandemic, the production was over zoom and the internet cut out, rendering her solo mute. Her best friend, Joanne, comes over for a socially distant cheer up session. Together they unearth the struggles and loneliness of their diverging lives, and do their best to find intimacy in an increasingly alienating world.
