A directing debut from comedian Eva Victor. She plays Agnes, who has a great career as the new English professor at a Massachusetts university, but is struggling to process a traumatic event from her time as a postgrad.
When a beloved friend on the brink of a major milestone visits, Agnes starts to realise just how stuck she’s been and begins to work through how to move forward.
With deadpan delivery emphasising the humour and the pain and recalling Kenneth Lonergan’s dramas with piercing honesty and confident tread, this is a tale of self-compassion and companionship. With a cute kitten.
