HURT

$5.40$15.00

When someone close to us is in danger, the world as we know it melts, what once seemed important, no longer is, everything dissipates, alters, transforms. We exist, for a time, in a fluid space, new thoughts form about what it means to live and die, about what it means to love and hate

three people, Mel, Alex, Dominic, are all implicated in an accident - but who (if anyone) is to blame? - Is it true that good can come of bad? - If so, how do we find the good? And how does guilt play into love?
