Over/Under

By Sophia Silver

Synopsis

It’s the sum­mer of 2002. Vio­let and Stel­la are nine-years old and insep­a­ra­ble. They spend their days play­ing in waves, catch­ing but­ter­flies, send­ing wish­es to fairies, and spy­ing on nude adults at the beach. But then, the sum­mer ends. Stel­la has friends back home but would rather talk with them about mer­maids than tam­pons. A lone­ly Vio­let attracts the atten­tion of a vicious bul­ly, while silent­ly pro­cess­ing her chang­ing body. Over the next few sum­mers, the girls come togeth­er, but puber­ty, boys, fam­i­ly trau­ma, and the desire to “fit in” all begin to threat­en the mag­ic of their friendship.
