Fwends

Synopsis

Old friends Em and Jessie reconnect for a weekend. Their conversations flow naturally, covering light topics and deep emotions. They represent a generation of resilient young women navigating life's ups and downs with honesty and humor. Em has travelled from Sydney to visit her friend Jessie. They don’t have any plans – and there isn’t even a proper duvet for Em, although the two young women won’t be sleeping anyway. For soon their sweet, smart babbling is in full flow, moving from the banal to the heavy and back again. Both of them are lost in their own way. The hours they share become a space of play, just as their slacker-like movements through the city turn into an observation of themselves and those around them.

Screening followed by online Q & A with the director.
