In an isolated religious community, the desperation of a pregnant woman to escape her abusive domestic condition leads her to enlist a male friend to accuse her of infidelity. She hopes being falsely charged by a man will be taken as truth in the trial of the Elders. To find her guilty of this crime would mean excommunication into the vast unknown outside their gates. A risk Susanna is willing to take in order to be free.

Sonnet poster

When the time comes and we witness injustice, will we take a stand against it? Even with the best intentions, when confronted we often run. We run because it is our instinct. We run because of our apathy. We run because we lack the courage to sacrifice ourselves for another. "Sonnet" is an exploration of a single moment of injustice and how one character's inability to take action leaves behind an unseen wound carried for life. This is a story about how we make amends for the moment we chose not to act when we were needed most.
