Amalie has been accepted at the art class at high school and will share a studio apartment with her BFF. The future looks bright. But nothing turns out as Amalie expected. She is no longer the best at drawing, mum calls every single day without really listening, and when she needs a friend the most, she’s on her own. Inspo quotes about life sucks. A story about loneliness, clichés, and about becoming your own best friend. And that the night is darkest right before sunrise.
