Four Last Things

Somewhere in rural Ireland, now, Janey is dropping out. Of college, of friends, of life. Stuck on her family farm, yearning for Dublin, she wants to swap the green fields for a concrete jungle and the endless quiet for a ceaseless noise. With a father she can't talk to, and a dog that can't talk back to her, Janey bows out and chooses no to life. This is an emotionally charged journey through the last days of a young woman's battle with herself.
