Aura would like you to know that she is having a very, very hard time.

RomanceComedyDrama

After graduating from film school, Aura returns to New York to live with her photographer mother, Siri, and her sister, Nadine, who has just finished high school. Aura is directionless and wonders where to go next in her career and her life. She takes a job in a restaurant and tries unsuccessfully to develop relationships with men, including Keith, a chef where she works, and cult Internet star Jed.

VIBE

This film feels like a quiet, introspective drift through early adulthood. It captures the aimlessness and awkwardness of figuring yourself out, wrapped in a cozy, lived-in aesthetic. Perfect for a thoughtful, solitary viewing.
