Storyline
A birthday celebration between sisters Lily and Sasha spirals into a long night of wine, unspoken wounds, and quiet destruction.
Roles
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Sasha | Female 27 - 35 Years old |
Description Sasha is quiet but intense, a woman who holds years of responsibility and repression beneath a carefully controlled exterior. She is Lily’s older sister, tethered to her by trauma, love, and resentment. Their relationship is volatile, intimate, and at times unsettlingly tender. Sasha is deeply lonely but unable to ask for comfort—except in one space, with Shirley, where vulnerability and control blur. The role requires an actor comfortable with restrained but emotionally charged performance, as well as subtle physicality in scenes of tension and intimacy. | ||
| Role type | Role | Gender & Age range |
| Lead | Shirley | Female 30 - 40 Years old |
Description Shirley is warm, charismatic, and maternal, yet always in control. As an online cam worker, she knows how to balance genuine care with transactional intimacy. Her relationship with Sasha is a delicate mix of tenderness and business—comforting, yet distant. In their final scene, she guides Sasha through a familiar ritual, her presence soothing and haunting at once. The role requires an actor with a strong ability to convey both warmth and quiet detachment, as well as comfort in an intimate but controlled setting. | ||
