It has won several awards including a Grand Jury Prize for Student Shorts at the AFI Dallas International Film Festival [3], Best Short Film and Best Actress at BendFilm Festival[4], and Best Screenplay at the Hollyshorts Film Festival.
The film's official website provides the following description: In the wake of tragedy, 14 year old Maddie Clifford employs sex, insulin syringes, and an ill-fated rabbit in her disquietingly poignant search for salvation.
The synopsis highlights a fascinating aspect of the film's plot which revolves around the so-called rabbit test, a disturbing practice employed to detect pregnancy used in the early twentieth century.
