Three seemingly disconnected stories unfold across New York City. Gus Birney stars as Violet, a jaded arcade worker, Sinopia, an upper-class professor bored with her marriage, and Jade, an endlessly cool young woman who decides to help a stranger out of her debt. Meanwhile, a woman with a suitcase (Constance Shulman) moves through the city in search of the doppelganger trying to take over her life. Surreal, comedic and reflexive, this film plays out like free jazz, with writer-director Schaefer deftly pulling us through this whirlwind black-and-white flight of fancy.
