In a rapidly gentrifying San Francisco, a one-night stand between two bohemians, Micah and Jo’, spins off into a woozy daylong affair. Their day is filled with tenderness, friction, and intellectual sparring as they explore their relationships with each other, the city, and their own Blackness.

More than a calling card for the Oscar®-winning Moonlight, Barry Jenkins’ feature debut heralded the arrival of a deeply impassioned vision. A yearning portrait of modern Blackness in San Francisco, Medicine for Melancholy is a captivatingly authentic tale of hesitant love and urban malaise.
