PEACE

What remains when the life you once knew shatters and you realise you will never be the same person again? Sixteen-year-old Jane lost her sister during a terrorist attack. An incident that turns a carefree and light-hearted summer into a nightmare – a girl into a shadow of her inner self. Because she knows the world keeps spinning – but from now on without her sister in it. After weeks of not attending school, Jane is confronted with how much really has changed. People act weird and even her best friend since childhood seems to distance herself and, over time, disappear almost fully from her life. Jane is drowning in her own mind, and no one seems to notice that she is slowly dying inside. Suddenly everything takes an unexpected turn. A guy she’d met only once appears in spaces that other people disappear from and fills them. In between conversations about life, music and sometimes even nothing at all, Jane begins being able to breathe again. Paxton shows her that life is a gift of many small but meaningful moments. For a moment Jane believes she has found inner peace. But peace is rarely soft. Both carry a heavy burden within themselves, and finally destiny writes its own ending.
