An improv series about a group of idealists in the age of climate change and an uncertain future
Guests are always welcome in the household of lovers Heidi, Juklas, and Becky. There’s lots of sex, a lot of making out, and an occasional argument, which is usually resolved quickly. There’s talk of starting a family. But this happiness is short-lived when the landlord threatens to kick them out of their apartment and Heidi suddenly becomes seriously ill. During this maelstrom of events in an endless summer, the group is confronted head-on by an unbending social reality and risks succumbing to radicalism.
The screening will include the first four episodes of the series.
