Three roommates, one cramped flat, and enough unspoken trauma to fill a therapist's notebook.
A flat-share party marks the end of a nerve-wracking day for three cohabiting individuals who feel stuck in their lives. Tommy, who is increasingly restless and lacking energy, is compelled to confront unspoken issues with his brother Ben on his mother's birthday. Lea makes a final attempt to salvage her relationship with Ellie, while Rosa struggles with her identity and the expectations her family has for her studies.
