Synopsis / あらすじ
[English / 英語] Grace, a resilient 20-something supervisor at “Short Term 12″—a transitional facility for at-risk teenagers—dedicates her life to supporting youth struggling with abuse, neglect, and mental health crises. Alongside her compassionate boyfriend and colleague, Mason, she maintains a delicate balance within the facility’s chaotic daily life. However, Grace’s professional composure masks a deep-seated trauma from her own history of sexual abuse, which she keeps hidden even from those closest to her. The arrival of Jayden, a talented but profoundly guarded girl, disrupts Grace’s carefully constructed walls. Seeing a mirror of her younger self in Jayden’s rebellion, Grace is forced to confront her own unprocessed wounds. The film poses essential questions: Can those who are still hurting truly provide strength to others? What does real healing look like in a broken system? And what is the true nature of human solidarity?
[日本語] 問題を抱えた10代の若者のための短期保護施設「ショートターム12」。20代のスーパーバイザー、グレースは、虐待やネグレクト、深い心の傷を抱えた少年少女の支援に日々を捧げています。同じ施設で働く恋人メイソンの支えを受けながら、有能な職員として現場を切り盛りする彼女ですが、その内面には、自身の凄惨な性的虐待の経験という、誰にも触れさせない深い闇を抱えていました。そんなある日、激しく心を閉ざした少女ジェイデンが入所してきます。ジェイデンの反抗的な態度に、かつての自分自身の姿を見たグレースは、蓋をしてきた自らのトラウマと向き合わざるを得なくなります。映画は私たちに静かに問いかけます。「傷ついた者」は、本当に「傷ついた者」の杖となれるのか。癒しとは過去を忘れることなのか。そして、人と人が真に寄り添う「連帯」とは何を指すのでしょうか。
