“One day. One location. Ultimate social anxiety.”

ComedyDrama

College student Danielle must cover her tracks when she unexpectedly runs into her sugar daddy at a shiva - with her parents, ex-girlfriend and family friends also in attendance.

VIBE

A hilariously awkward and anxiety-inducing dive into familial pressure and self-discovery. The film masterfully captures suffocating social dynamics and the universal cringe of navigating complex relationships under intense scrutiny.
