I HOPE TO DIE AT MY POST; IN THE STREETS OR IN PRISON.

ROSA LUXEMBURG

I THINK THE NOTION OF DREAMING IN A TIME WHERE WE ARE TOLD THAT IT IS FOOLISH, FUTILE OR NOT USEFUL IS ONE OF THE MOST REVOLUTIONARY THINGS WE CAN DO.

TO HAVE OUR LIVES DETERMINED BY OUR DREAMS OF A FREE WORLD--INSTEAD OF REACTIONS TO A STATE-IMPOSED REALITY--IS ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL TOOLS OF DECOLONIZATION

Katy is an impressionable teenager obsessed with Misty magazine and its beauty tips. With her once-glamorous mother, Corinne, spiralling into self-destruction, she turns to Misty for advice – with disastrous but often hilarious consequences. Only Katy’s teacher, Jane, has the insight to put her pupil back on track, but she has a story of her own to tell. Can these three very different women each find their own voice in a society obsessed with perfection?
