Teenager Hamlet

A painter, on a mission to leave her studio to find art instead of imagining it, rearranges her friends and limited resources to see what she could find at the heart of her Toronto neighbourhood. Within walking distance from her apartment and with no budget, she finds a Hamlet story where Hamlet could only get as far as putting on a play.
