The(ir) Blurb...

Jen Heck's Airplanes tells the love story of two teenage girls from the moment they first see each other to their eventual break-up. While an educational-style voice-over discusses the science and art of flight, the characters, like airplanes themselves, take off, struggle to fly, and eventually come in for an emergency landing.
