Orange Blossoms

Emily is stuck in a relationship that has curdled into something controlling and cruel, and she has nearly stopped believing that anything else is possible. Then a mysterious woman appears in her life, seemingly out of nowhere, and the routines Emily has been enduring begin to loosen. Danica Dodds writes, co-directs and stars in this half-hour American drama, with Aimee Crowther as the enigmatic stranger and Cole Gerdes as the partner whose grip Emily must find the strength to escape. Part romance and part story of self-rescue, Orange Blossoms uses its sunlit title image as a promise of renewal, tracing the slow, frightening, exhilarating process of a woman rediscovering her own worth and daring to want something better.
