A series of incredible events and stunning coincidences lead a jaded
comedy writer from New Jersey to Scotland in 2019. What started out as
a bucket-list trip to honor lost friends becomes a life-changing
lesson in community, compassion and kindness. With some silly,
singing, Satanic nuns thrown in for good measure. “Using projections,
video, and a straight-to-the-heart power that only well-crafted songs
can evoke, Engelhardt puts her tremendous storytelling talent to its
best use… a shocking, absorbing piece skillfully directed by Kira
Simring.” - Words and Music
