About the Film
Joseph and Sonya share an intimate friendship and their young son, whom they’re raising together. While Joseph, a film director, is doubly preoccupied with a new idea for a film and with the aftermath of a previous relationship, Sonya suffers from depression. When she is hospitalized, Joseph must juggle both his everyday commitments and his artistic ambitions. A tragicomic family portrait: absurd, hopeful, and touching.
