Little Lina
Ever since Lina cut ties with her mother, Eleanor, the childhood version of herself, “Little Lina” has come to visit her on the anniversary of Eleanor's sobriety. The anniversary of Eleanor’s sobriety also happens to fall on the same day in which Eleanor and Lina moved into The Facility, a cult that existed in California, twenty years ago. Lina struggles to forgive Eleanor for her tumultuous childhood growing up in the cult, but Little Lina is determined to have the adult version of herself see the gray area in holding resentment and compassion for the same person.
