Synopsis:

In this film, an innocent-seeming reunion between two old friends opens old, painful wounds. Following the demise of her latest relationship, Juliet (Stephanie Morgenstern) compiles a list of things to accomplish. Contacting her estranged friend Julie (Dominique Leduc), whom she hasn't seen in 15 years, ranks first among those tasks. When Juliet suddenly shows up at the door of Julie's farmhouse, the latter doesn't seem that thrilled; for a while the conversation is stilted and fraught with unspoken feeling, but as the day progresses, the two loosen up. By nightfall Julie and Juliet are fast friends again. Too much wine spoils the evening when an emboldened Juliet suddenly leans forward and kisses Julie on the lips. At this point it's revealed that it was a similar incident that caused their estrangement. Time has not made it easier on either the love-lorn Juliet or the repulsed Julie, both of whom feel compelled to finally address their feelings directly. Their attempts to reconcile their divergent emotions with their bonds of friendship comprise the rest of the story.

Juliet has just ended a long relationship and is putting her life back together. Top of her 'things to do' list is to see her old friend Julie again, after 15 years without speaking. So Juliet travels to the old farm where Julie lives, and the two spend an evening talking, eating and catching up. They clearly have some emotional baggage behind them, and this past is brought to the surface when Juliet kisses her friend on the lips. Julie is as shocked as she was 15 years earlier when Juliet confessed her love first, but now the friends must decide how to deal with their different feelings for each other.

Drama. With a recent relationship recently ended, a young woman decides to visit an old female friend that she last saw fifteen years ago. Old emotions come to the fore when she attempts to instigate a romantic relationship with her old friend, as she did fifteen years ago.
