Finally... A film about the downwardly mobile.

ComedyDramaRomance

A radical student is adopted by a group of young New Yorkers, serves as a catalyst to alter his and their lives. Gathering in a Manhattan apartment, the group of friends meet to discuss social mobility, Fourier's socialism and play bridge in their cocoon of upper-class society - until they are joined by a man with a critical view of their way of life.

VIBE

A sharp, dialogue-heavy exploration of young Manhattanites grappling with privilege and purpose. It feels like eavesdropping on brilliant, aimless twenty-somethings debating philosophy and their futures in a chic, insular world. Witty, a little sad, and utterly captivating.
