Description
At 23, recent psychology graduate Avril feels lost, struggling with confidence, vulnerability and a fear of showing her true self. Hoping to learn to trust herself and others, she travels to Manila for an improv theatre boot camp. Thrust into unfamiliar classes, spontaneous performances and a vibrant creative community, Avril gradually learns to let go of overthinking and embrace the possibility of making mistakes. A
long the way, conversations with her mentors and a heartfelt reunion with her former childhood helper bring buried feelings of loneliness and family struggles to the surface. Avril begins to find her voice and learns that sometimes, saying “yes” to the unknown is the first step towards finding herself.
