Plot
A young woman who has just been offered her first leading role as an actress is confronted by the specter of her thirteen-year-old self.[1] The dialog between the 23-year-old actress and her younger self begins in memory, and then climaxes in an apparitional experience with the specter of her own, repressed, precocious youth.[2]
