HER and SHE are secret lovers living in New York during 1915. HER decides it's time for them to part ways, leaving SHE devastated. SHE begs HER to explain her actions before they part. Trying to break through HER’s stoicism, SHE does her best to clarify why she remained in a loveless marriage. SHE blames HER for lacking emotion and for forcing an outcome that HER doesn't really want. HER struggles to feel anything but numbness. A feeling that HER has become accustomed to in her marriage. Can SHE break through the walls HER has built? Can SHE make HER understand how important their love is? Can HER feel enough for SHE to risk it all? Can HER hide her pain? Do they actually even know what’s happening? Is SHE’s pain real? Has this relationship been transparent? It turns out to be quite the enigma.
