201099 min5.6 / 10

A wry, intimate portrait of post-college aimlessness and family entanglement in Manhattan, balancing self-aware comedy with genuine melancholy about direction and connection.

After graduating from film school, Aura returns to New York to live with her photographer mother, Siri, and her sister, Nadine, who has just finished high school. Aura is directionless and wonders where to go next in her career and her life. She takes a job in a restaurant and tries unsuccessfully to develop relationships with men, including Keith, a chef where she works, and cult Internet star Jed.
