Susan lives with her best friend Anne in a small apartment in New York City. She is a photographer and dreams of being taken seriously as an artist. But until that happens, she keeps her head above water with photography jobs at weddings and bar mitzvahs. When Anne, who is celebrating her first successes as an author, meets her new boyfriend Martin, the blissful flat-sharing arrangement comes to an end: Anne moves out and Susan finds herself thrown back into the unloved life of living alone and her non-existent love life... Claudia Weill's energetic low-budget indie film about a young photographer finding her way in New York has inspired many. From Greta Gerwig's Hannah to Lena Dunham's Girls, this casual and authentic film, reminiscent of a cozy get-together, set the bar for future generations with its natural-sounding dialogue and authentic locations. Presented in a superb digital restoration, it is one of our personal favorite discoveries in this series.
