This 2014 short film was presented by Alter in 2019.
The movie is apparently set in the late 1970s, in a small town. A teenage girl lives with her wheelchair-bound grandmother, who just sits watching TV all day. The girl goes to a roller rink, where she hopes to attract the attention of local boys, who are more interested in another girl. She meets a man who seems nice, but he goes off with the other girl. So the first girl goes home and reinvents her look. She later does manage to attract a boy, but also attracts some very dangerous attention from someone else. That's all I want to say about the plot, but the film is, I suppose, a pretty decent facsimile of slasher or thriller films from the era in which it's set. And it has a bit of humor, in addition to the drama and scary bits. I don't know what else to say.
