The story of the film was establish with the girl introducing her self and the family showing us how she is in her normal life. it then goes on to a flash back of when her life started to change for the better when this boy called Adam take notice and started to watch her more closely. This happen till he ask her out saying you cant hid in that room forever it too late i see you. once she is brought back to the present she is then persuaded to go out with the family in a car ride which ends tragically with her fighting for her life. the audience is captured by the fact that they start off in the cloud so you don't know what is going to happen to the main character.
levi strauss
family, alone
health/ sickness
love/ unlove
happy/sad
I picked these two one because of the fact you first see her with a lovely family not a lonely for a second .however she feel like she dosent belong to the family she has . Only to have the family she know taking away from her. This is where she really start to feel lonely but then she see how important and love she really is.
