Two friends, both actresses, leave Los Angeles for Big Sur for a weekend getaway to reconnect. Once alone, however, the two women’s suppressed jealousies and deep-seated resentments bubble to the surface, causing them to lose grasp of their relationship and identities.

Recalling such classics as Persona and Mulholland Drive, Sophia Takal’s feverish chamber piece is drawn to the inner life of actresses. Unnervingly compelling as onscreen frenemies, Mackenzie Davis and Caitlin Fitzgerald tease out the dark currents of female bonding with their combative chemistry.
