​

“A deadly serious comedy about ambition, success, and owning your superiority.” --NY Times

Mary Wallace and Athena are brave, and seventeen, and fencers, and training for the Junior Olympics. They practice together, they compete against each other, they spend their lives together. They wish they were friends. Can they overcome their fierce competitiveness? Would they even want to? Directed by Shelby R. Seeley.
