Two seemingly separate narratives, spanning some 30 years converge at a dinner party between two newly introduced couples in 1959 New England, revealing that the attendees know much more about one another than they first thought. The film is a dark, character-driven drama, which examines the concept of self (identity, ethnicity, and sexual orientation) in the context of society while illustrating the compromises individuals are willing to make to feel as though they belong. Not your typical period drama, Albatross takes a stylized look at current issues through a lens of 1959 and is a deeply personal story about timeless issues; race, gender, sexuality, and belonging.
