NUNE
There’s no drug like love
Short Film/ RT: 30 min/ USA
A 15-year-old Nune creates a fantasy world to escape from the pain of social rejection and bullying, but a model cheerleader with a bleeding heart keeps luring her near.
Nune (pronounced “Noon-nay”) Lusparian wishes her life was different. At school, a group of privileged kids try to break her, except for Briana, an American beauty, who has a bleeding heart for Nune. Briana’s clique wonders why a girl who has it all, would sympathize with the high school’s ugly duckling. Then start the rumors that Briana might be gay. If Briana’s reputation goes down by going out on the limb to follow her heart, will Nune rise up to catch her falling star?
