Two decades after their high school romance ended, former sweethearts Jim and Amanda find themselves unexpectedly reunited in their sleepy California hometown. Mark Duplass and Sarah Paulson bring a raw, aching authenticity to these characters, who navigate a sudden afternoon together filled with nostalgic reminiscing and unspoken regrets. As they wander through familiar streets and share a quiet afternoon in his late mother’s house, their playful banter slowly gives way to deeper, more vulnerable conversations. This intimate drama, directed by Alexandre Lehmann from a script by Duplass, unfolds in delicate black and white, capturing the bittersweet atmosphere of a connection rekindled. The film explores the haunting question of what might have been, as Jim and Amanda confront the choices that shaped their separate lives and the powerful, unresolved feelings that a single chance encounter can bring rushing back to the surface.
