Lavender Whispers
The award winning script "Lavender Whispers", follows Juliet a late 50 year old receptionist of strangers hall, who finds a lost love letter in between the floorboards of the museum. After investigation, she needs to decide rather to keep being stuck or break out of her repetitive life.
“Elizabeth leans in and whispers something into Juliet's ear. It makes Juliet breathe heavily with desire.
ELIZABETH (V.O)
We deserve wild nights as well as blissful mornings — ardent cries as well as lavender whispers.”
