Sophie is a young Canadian filmmaker who translates online hotel reviews to pay the bills, but dreams of becoming the next Miranda July - a successful director, author and visual artist based in Los Angeles. In the hope of meeting her idol for tea (and getting some professional advice), Sophie decides to drive from Montreal to LA with her cinematographer Isabelle. It is the start of an offbeat adventure for the two friends, who document their journey in a series of humorous vignettes and reflect on their film in the making, guided by the otherworldly voice of their mentor - the late Chantal Akerman. Part playful travelogue, part meditative essay, L.A Tea Time is a charming film about an artist’s creative process, inspirations and aspirations.
