Working as a teacher in a small, remote town dominated by religion, Astrid finds herself caught in the middle of a debate about the church’s prediction that the world will end in a week. Defending the best interests of her young students, who are scared and confused by the news, Astrid becomes a source of controversy in the town and must address her own conflicted beliefs.
Real Life contains ten perfectly formed stories—singular moments of emotional intensity about the inner lives we all lead. Each story presents the moments of “real life” that all of us experience, stripping away defences to reveal truths of pain, joy, anger, fear, or hope.
