Accidental Friends
Theme:
Jonathan Small sits in his hospital room recovering from a head injury, bandages covering his eyes. He can’t see very clear that his friends are not there and no one has come to see him. That is, until he receives a surprise visit from classmate Hilda, the geeky, overachiever from a different social circle. She challenges Jonathan to join her on a sightless adventure around the rooms and within the walls of the hospital, the two form a fast friendship. But when Jonathan is discharged, he returns to his group of friends, ignoring Hilda and setting a chain of events in motion that affects them all. This smartly-written drama explores the dynamics of friendship, lost and regained.
