Chrysalis
After a lifetime of disappointment Julianne resigns herself to loneliness and despair. Blessed by neither talent nor love she has to watch as students pass through her classroom on a road to a brighter future than she could ever hope for.
However, out of the blue one day her most promising student, Jason, returns to town after leaving for a prestigious writing school in New York. She insists that she read his play, and when he tells her that one of the characters was based on her the realization of a deep, lingering passion is brought to her attention, a passion of which she could previously only dream.
