Synopsis

Alice, a novelist, meets Felix, who works in a warehouse, and invites him to travel with her to Rome. Back in Dublin, Alice’s best friend Eileen is recovering from a break-up and finds herself returning to flirtation with Simon, someone she has known since childhood.

As Alice, Felix, Eileen and Simon navigate early adulthood, their relationships shift between closeness and distance. They grapple with desire, self-deception, sex, friendship and the wider world around them, while questioning what it means to bear witness to their time and whether they can still believe in a beautiful world.
