The Girls at the Station
A powerful drama inspired by real events of three girls who grew up in a juvenile detention centre.
Jara, Alex and Miranda grew up in a juvenile detention centre with no knowledge of unconditional love. Jara’s birthday is coming up, and the three girls want to celebrate it by going to a concert of their favourite trap queen. However, they need money but have few opportunities for getting their hands on it. They meet up with an older girl from the detention centre, who now picks up adult men in bus station restrooms, and are offered an easy way to make money. They accept because they know there’s something men always want.
