An evocative coming-of-age drama, Felicity relates an intimate, character-driven story that captures all of the emotions of striking out in the world for the first time. These are the intoxicating days that come once in a lifetime, when everything is new, emotions are raw, epiphanies are commonplace, and every moment feels like life or death.
