Synopsis
Anthony picks Caitlin up and they head to an appointment at Planned Parenthood, where Anthony pays and waits. On the return trip, in an accidental Uber Pool, they are joined by Matteo, an adrenaline-hyped cyclist who just survived a bike accident. His energy cuts through the tension of their non-relationship, helping Caitlin re-engage with her own experience. In a desperate attempt to be a “good guy,” Anthony tries to embody Caitlin’s pain, only highlighting the fact that no amount of well-intentioned empathy will allow him to fully understand what she will hold in her body forever.
