Introduction

Jessie plays tour guide to Em, who is visiting from Sydney. They try to reconnect, despite the years they have spent apart, and as they struggle to distract themselves from their many problems and the uncertainty of their futures. Sophie Somerville’s mumblecore debut is a delightful, painfully honest portrayal of the struggles of maintaining friendships and the messiness of everyday life.
