Curator’s clip description

A long dirt road stretches ahead. A watch is held up. Lena (Jamilla Frail) is walking ahead of Vaughn (Luke Carroll). Vaughn on crutches wants to stop because it hurts. Lena doesn’t want to stop. Vaughn asks Lena what she is going to miss from the mission.

Curator’s notes

A simple set-up to a story that is really an expose on the desires of two teenagers, their dreams and hopes, who hit the road in order to find a place that will offer more than their rural setting.
