Trust
A slightly twisted comedy.
Directed by Hal Hartley
Produced by True Fiction Pictures, Zenith Entertainment
A darkly comedic romance between two misfits—a pregnant dropout and a moody intellectual—that finds warmth and connection amid social displacement and unconventional circumstances.
After being thrown away from home, pregnant high school dropout Maria meets Matthew, a highly educated and extremely moody electronics repairman. The two begin an unusual romance built on their sense of mutual admiration and trust.
