STORY

Maddie has spent twenty years carrying a secret that has slowly hollowed her from the inside. Tonight, she’s carefully planned a final evening with her younger sister Quinn. Dinner, champagne, goodbye gifts, and the pills. Her only request is that her sister be by her side when she closes her eyes for the last time. But what she didn’t count on is Quinn being… Quinn.

The Glass Bear is a psychological drama about suicide, family secrets, the limits of love, and what it means to choose not just to die, but to live with our pain.
