Plot summary

An African American woman living away from her family in Los Angeles yearns to be recognized for more than her physical attributes. In cultivating the friendship of a male office mate, she aspires to a relationship where romance is not a factor, seeking someone who can "see her as she is," rather than see only what he wants to see.

Film Is About Doing And Sometimes That's Thinking

Margòt Saxton-Federella and Adisa Anderson are friends. They try to build a relationship with each other, even as they try to redefine themselves as individuals.At fifty-one minutes, it's a very short feature. It does, nonetheless, have a great deal to say about the problems of young adults who are trying to -- pardon me for the ugly phrase -- find themselves while fighting off conflicting images of how they should behave: the sexualized images of women found in copies of Playboy and liquor ads, the offerings of a vaguely and multiply defined "Afrlica", and the sort of idiotic advice he gets from his buddies. Unlike a lot of movies, the characters spend a lot of time thinking and looking. This forces the audience into the same mode, with the occasional revelation a surprise.
