圣诞假期

In an idyllic Tuscan town, Belvedere in Chianti, all the women are married or looking for the perfect husband, except Elisa, a single mother who runs Le Giuggiole vineyard. The return to the town of a childhood friend she had lost sight of for years turns her life upside down and reawakens feelings she thought had been gone forever.

Lesbian prop-master Casey (Cam Killion) is abandoned by her girlfriend after a fight at a run-down motel, at the height of COVID-19 lockdowns in California. What’s worse, her girlfriend has taken not only her car, but her dog as well. She teams up with unemployed actor Alan (Joohun Lee) on a road trip to an audition in Canada. Casey is bitterly cynical while Alan is blindingly optimistic, which makes for a hilarious odd-couple road movie. Featuring beautifully shot landscapes, Laramie Dennis’s laidback debut feature film draws on, and queers, the work of Sam Shepard, and will delight fans of offbeat indie comedies à la the ‘90s works of Hal Hartley and Alison Anders.
