After a troubling incident, a group of university students face an ethical dilemma: whether or not to evict one of their own.
Accelerator alumna Rebecca Metcalf (Development, MIFF 2023) draws from her background in journalism for this riveting portrait of moral complexity, class and the fraught nature of group dynamics. Working in tight collaboration with her performers, the writer/director offers a fascinating glimpse into a cultural and political moment in which notions of justice and responsibility are shaped by individual backgrounds and lived experience.
