Dawn isn’t like other teens; instead of typical worries about boys, school and parents, she battles a deep emotional pain that drives her to self‑harm. The film confronts the very real issue of adolescent girls resorting to cutting, exposing a growing epidemic and urging viewers not to overlook it. It’s a powerful portrait that demands attention.
