Written on a NYC subway at age 15 and shot in true indie style six and a half years later, Gabriel Kahane's deeply personal feature debut chronicles a lawbreaking teenager (Justin Mark) forced to work at a wig shop for cancer patients owned by the warm-hearted Susan (Catherine Curtin). There he befriends a guarded woman (Holly Heiser) who irreversibly alters the course of his life.
Brimming with the nervous energy of its protagonist, Kahane's remarkably self-assured feature film debut is at times raw, funny, gut-wrenching, sad, yet ultimately hopeful - an absolute stunner that peeks behind the curtain into an often bleak, yet altogether human existence of a young man looking for his place in the world.
Content Warning: themes of domestic violence.
