Still Looking for Morphine
An act of violence turns a girl into a woman and leads her to a new life. Ricky rides her motorcycle among real and imagined dangers, to arrive unscathed, but unalterably changed, at the end of summer. The unrelenting wind of the season disrupts a landscape of inaction, theft and drug use. The end of innocence has already begun and a new path, dark and hopeful, stands waiting like the ships beyond her window. It will be an act of violence that thrusts the girl into womanhood and leads her to a new life where, not without pain, everything is possible. —Anonymous Piraeus 2001. Against the backdrop of a long, dry summer, fiercely independent tomboy Ricky, a gawky young woman from the wrong side of the tracks, finds herself living on the fringes of society. As rebellious Ricky gets her kicks from playing with fire, looking for quick cash, companionship, and freedom in all the wrong places, suddenly, an unwelcome brush with the law will mark the end of innocence. Can Ricky handle the unforeseen consequences of violence? —Nick Riganas
