Over the course of a hot summer day in Los Angeles, the lives of 25 young Angelinos intersect. A skating guitarist, a tagger, two wannabe rappers, an exasperated fast-food worker, a limo driver—they all weave in and out of each other's stories. Through poetry they express life, love, heartache, family, home, and fear. One of them just wants to find someplace that still serves good cheeseburgers.

VIBE

A sun-drenched, poetic tapestry of young lives in LA. It feels like a humid summer evening, full of yearning, fleeting connections, and the raw beauty of spoken word. A soulful, sometimes melancholic, but ultimately hopeful exploration of finding your place.
