They dreamed of getting a place of their own in the city and living a life of great passion, art and romance.But as they drift into their late twenties, they are forced to contend with the idea that growing up might mean growing apart. Helena works at an elite boys' private school, a misogynistic hellhole rife with sexual harassment and paintings of ships. Every day she pines for an ex-boyfriend who left her with nothing but a print of an artwork of Ophelia drowning. Meanwhile, Ruthie is pouring her marital despair into three-tiered funfetti cakes and seeking refuge from her family in solo Friday night trips to Woolworths.When an old school friend invites Helena and Ruthie to a glamorous forest wedding, they jump at the chance to reconnect.
