The police reconstruct the disappearance of a teenage girl in a park. Off-screen, we hear the personal reflections of a female police officer about the vulnerability of young people. Lyrical, virtuoso prelude in one take to the first full-length film by the Desperate Optimists (Short Profile in 2007).
