SYNOPSIS
Em is a junior lawyer who lives to work to pay her ludicrously high rent in Sydney while navigating an abusive workplace that she has worked so hard to get into. Jessie is a former stripper and world traveller who has recently ended her long term relationship and is now living a life of existential loneliness. What starts as a simple reunion quickly transforms into a whirlwind weekend filled with adventure, raw emotion, and poignant revelations.
As they explore the city and share stories, their conversation dives deep into the complexities of modern life, exposing the layers of their personal journeys and the weight of their existential dread. This film captures a lonely, worried generation seeking meaning in a fast-paced, ever-changing landscape. It's a celebration of the power of friendship and an ode to the splendiferous messiness of real life.
