John & Jane
The story.
'JOHN & JANE' is about getting lost in a far too big world, about being somebody, or not, about being afraid of everything, or a lot anyway.
Jane is a 15-year-old girl and, as the cliché dictates, is pretty much in a knot with herself. Every morning as she looks in the mirror while brushing her teeth, she asks herself the question, "Who am I? By a bizarre coincidence, which we won't elaborate on here, Jane finds herself in her own head. Her head, where to her great surprise sits someone; John, who operates the machinery in her head.
'JOHN & JANE' touches on the psyche of man, who, with his limited knowledge and with all his doubts and fears, tries to make decisions in the hope of living a happy life. A theme that takes on an exponential dimension in adolescence, but plays in each of us.
'JOHN & JANE' is a sensitive, humorous road trip through the mind of a young person called the adolescent.
