About Bookmarks
Disconnected from her queer community, Callie decides to visit her local museum. But while there finds herself trapped in a time loop, unable to leave, until she discovers an LGBTQ+ exhibition inviting her to share her story. Any belief that she's stuck forever in her life, is shown to be as temporary an illusion as the time loop too.
