🎬Breaking the Girls

Sara is an ambitious, working-class law student who gets betrayed by a wealthy classmate, costing her a vital scholarship. She finds solace in Alex, a manipulative and alluring heiress with a bitter hatred for her abusive stepmother. Bonded by shared grudges and growing erotic tension, the two women jokingly concoct a pact to eliminate each other's enemies so neither can be tied to the crimes. When Alex takes the deal seriously and one of the targets dies, Sara realizes she is trapped in a deadly web of framing, obsession, and murder in this twisted independent queer cinema production.
