Adam Newport-Berra’s debut feature captures a Millennial Thanksgiving weekend in Brooklyn that quickly spirals from celebration to confrontation. When Amy and Alex host their friends for the holiday just days after moving in together, an impromptu marriage proposal and the surprise arrival of Amy’s estranged brother Will set the table for tension. What begins as a typical hipster gathering transforms when Alex and Will embark on a seemingly innocent hike into the woods that gradually unravels into raw confessions and hidden truths. Shot with warm indoor scenes contrasting against sweeping natural landscapes, this nuanced mumblecore drama explores the messy realities of relationships and the uncomfortable secrets we keep from those closest to us.
