What Are They Here For

An intimate monodrama about motherhood at a young age.

Karla returns in memory seven years back—to the moment when her life turned upside down. Instead of choosing a secondary school, she suddenly had to take responsibility for a small child. Through individual fragments, she searches for a way back to herself and to him. How do you cope with such a profound disruption to your life? How do you build a relationship with someone you never wanted to meet?
