Director Nadine TRUONG | 2013 | USA | 79 mins | East Coast Premiere
After almost losing his girlfriend, his job and his life, suicidal Charlie heads to L.A. to reconnect with his best friends from high school: Luke, a now-famous actor, and Danny, a rich boy. They are joined by some others in the Hollywood Hills. The glittering city below reverberates with the thirty-somethings feeling around their past friendships as their lives have grown apart. Nuanced and incisive, this bitter-sweet feature debut of German-born Vietnamese filmmaker Nadine TRUONG plays out a series of revelations as the night wears on.
