Same Same written by Shireen Mula and directed by Rachel Briscoe and Dan Barnard, produced by fanSHEN. Two women and the echoes of an event which defines who they are, except each woman has only half of the information. If they met, they'd both know what really happened. But fiction is forgiving. Putting things back together might not be. Time travels in curves as two women drift in and out of each another's lives until - Today. Today everything spins out of control and Nid and Asha must decide: stop or go, begin or end, now or never.
