A Woman in New York

Drama

An unemployed ex-office worker searching for work floats a fragile line of sanity as she struggles to find friendship and companionship. Her tenuous grasp on reality further fluctuates when a man whom she met in a restaurant and started an affair with is called to go to India for an assignment. The final straw occurs when she is evicted and moves into a sleazy hotel. She then starts seeking casual sex in unorthodox locations just to have human contact.

VIBE

A raw, unflinching portrayal of urban loneliness and a descent into despair. It feels like a cold, damp Tuesday afternoon, where every interaction is a fleeting, hollow echo. The film captures a profound sense of isolation and the desperate search for any human touch.
