ComedyDrama

An aspiring dancer moves to New York City and becomes caught up in a whirlwind of flighty fair-weather friends, diminishing fortunes and career setbacks.

VIBE

This film feels like a bittersweet, black-and-white diary entry of early adulthood. It's a whimsical, yet deeply earnest exploration of friendship, ambition, and finding your footing in a world that doesn't quite know what to do with you. Expect a charmingly awkward, melancholic, and ultimately hopeful journey.
