Overview

Synopsis

23-year old Anna has just confessed to her 25-year old husband of five years, Jon, that she has been discontented in their marriage because they married at such a young age, and she was never with anyone else before that. Jon leaves her for two weeks, not knowing how to handle the news. He returns to the apartment to pack up his belongings and make a final decision about whether or not they will get divorced. Forsaken is based on Bob Dylan’s “You’re a Big Girl Now,” a song which examines the relationship between love and time.
