STORIES NOT TO BE TOLD
‘Stories Not To Be Told’ shines the comedic spotlight on those kinds of situations we’ve all found ourselves in, but which we’d rather no one ever knew about, or which we wish we could forget about altogether. Five stories, a sardonic, yet sympathetic ode to humans’ inability to govern our own emotions and not be able to stop, even though we know we should.
