Winner Best Supporting Actress Cristina Rimbaldi, Winner Best Cinematography, Nominated Best Narrative Feature

Richly filmed in black and white on the cityscape of Los Angeles, three twenty-somethings come together, sparking with the restless energy of the French New Wave. Each member of the threesome is in transition: fun-loving Marcello from under the thumb of his Italian soap star father, soulful French-Iranian actor Nassim toward a more fulfilling career, and artist Christine through the grief following the death of her grandfather. But the frolicsome trio finds joy and release together—exploring their sexuality, joining political protests, making art, and falling deeper into their unconventional amour—until Marcello must return to Italy and their experience there threatens the delicate balance of their relationship.
