A personal, raw, moving, and hilarious solo performance. About dreams that remained tucked away for years, filled with childhood memories of blossoming friendships in the waiting rooms of a system that referred people but never answered. About the question of what endless waiting does to a child? And about how theatre is sometimes the only place w where , the girl who saw everything, is finally seen. A personal yet universal story about the search for a future in an uncertain world.
