A morally fraught comedy-drama about a father's protective anxiety when his daughter attracts an older filmmaker, caught between satire and discomfort in its engagement with power, desire, and complicity.

When a successful television writer's daughter becomes the interest of an aging filmmaker with an appalling past, he becomes worried about how to handle the situation.
