When Afternoon Falls
“There is no greater vulnerability than falling in love for the first time.”
Maca is a 16-year-old girl, who is reserved and inexperienced in love. She and Ana meet with the excuse of returning a sweater that Ana had previously lent her. In a daily afternoon they will experience the vulnerability of what it means to fall in love for the first time.
