    A Battle of Dreams
    I think this storytelling in this film is a of those feature films that get over looked by other top billing feature films. I like performances of Cora Metzfield who plays Lily. A girl who wants her parent to wake up from a very tragic accident. The character lily has very vivid imaginations about solving her problems caused by the event that challenged her. So now, the actress Cora creates her personal take as the character Lily goes on an adventure to find people who she meets. She asks many visitors questions so she can help her through her imaginary world of coping with the trauma and pain by asking them questions.
