Moving at the speed of life, we are bound to collide with each other.

Drama

In post-Sept. 11 Los Angeles, tensions erupt when the lives of a Brentwood housewife, her district attorney husband, a Persian shopkeeper, two cops, a pair of carjackers and a Korean couple converge during a 36-hour period.

VIBE

This film feels like a series of unavoidable collisions, a raw and uncomfortable exploration of societal friction. Its propulsive, multi-narrative structure weaves a tapestry of human prejudice and fragile connections, leaving a tense, cynical, yet deeply resonant, sense of urban alienation.
