A Token of the Heart
Short Films :: Women-Produced • 15m
Determined to prove her morality, a kind-hearted and conflicted woman must fight to escape the extortion of her assignments as a contract killer.
A Token of the Heart is intended to show an exaggerated situation of a very real contemplation that people face every day: the choice of prioritizing their outward display of character, or their personal ideals of integrity. Owing the debt of “a simple favor,” our story’s protagonist, Reagan Johnson, finds herself in a particularly unpleasant dilemma in which she must choose between maintaining relationships with her loved ones and righting her wavering code of ethics.
