Director: The Feeling That the Time for Doing Something Has Passed

Synopsis

Ann, a morose New Yorker in her 30s, feels stuck in all areas of her life. To her dismay, the years have gone by quickly in her long-term casual BDSM relationship, low-level corporate job, and quarrelsome Jewish family. The seasons pass and with comic futility, Ann wrestles with her relationships, sexual desires and self. As her sense of alienation increases, Ann comes to realize that she wants more from her relationships in this self-deprecating auto-fictional comedy.
