The Room Next Door

A tender yet unflinching meditation on mortality, friendship, and meaning, where two estranged women confront life's final questions with dark humor and hard-won intimacy.

Ingrid and Martha were close friends in their youth, when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid went on to become an autofiction novelist while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by the circumstances of life. After years of being out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.
