In Philadelphia for the weekend, Tessa and Ben, a couple on the rocks, rent a room in the apartment of Adam, a reclusive stranger who quickly becomes an unwilling voyeur to the most private parts of the couple’s life. Tensions rise as the three enter an intimate battle to gain and reclaim territory.
Nebbishy filmmaker Joanna Arnow documents her yearlong relationship with an open-mic poet provocateur. What starts out as an uncomfortably intimate portrait of a dysfunctional relationship and protracted mid-twenties adolescence, quickly turns into a complex commentary on societal repression, sexuality and self-confrontation through art.
