Want

by Lynn Steger Strong

In 'Want', we enter the life of Elizabeth, a woman who despite her efforts to build a meaningful life in New York, finds herself grappling with the brink of bankruptcy. Carrying the weight of two kids, a husband, dual employment, and a PhD, Elizabeth's existence is fraying at the edges. In the quiet predawn hours, she seeks solace in running beside a frozen river, wrestling with thoughts that refuse silence. As her personal and professional worlds threaten to collapse, an unexpected reconnection with her childhood friend, Sasha, surfaces. This bond, rekindled amidst personal crises, may hold the strength to pull them through the complexities of their shared struggles. 'Want' delves deep into the challenges and societal expectations faced by women, highlighting the internal and external conflicts that come with daring to desire more.
