Boris (Stumm) is an actor. Jonathan (Berger) is a writer. Together, they are a couple, but their relationship has reached a point of routine domesticity that some might call comforting, but others stagnant. As he immerses himself deeper into rehearsals for a new film with an unpredictable director, Boris begins to confuse real and fictional characters; meanwhile, Jonathan tries to redefine his voice as a writer by any means necessary. During these days spent struggling with emotional distance and closeness, trust, desire, and fear of loss, Boris’s niece Josie flits about like Shakespeare’s Puck, testing her boundaries as she navigates the approaching end of her childhood. Stumm’s directorial and screenplay feature-length debut unfolds in humorous yet tender sequences centered on people searching for their place in life and offers an intimate reflection on the dissonances in relationships that connect and distance us.
