Maxwell Sim can’t seem to make a single meaningful connection.

Yara Zgheib's poetic and poignant debut is a haunting portrait of a young woman's struggle with anorexia on an intimate journey to reclaim her life. The chocolate went first, then the cheese, the fries, the ice cream. The bread was more difficult, but if she could just lose a little more weight, perhaps she would make the soloists' list.
