winning Jessica Bohl plays Daphne in You Are Alone |
LOGLINE:
A dark and sexually-charged exploration of just how far a
jaded middle-aged man and a depressed 18-year-old girl will
go to escape loneliness, even if only for an hour.
SYNOPSIS: "We're gonna play a game of Snap! Pick a bracelet.
Pull it hard!" But it’s a game of desperate consequences in
YOU ARE ALONE, a dark exploration of just how far a man and
a woman will go to escape loneliness, if only for an hour.
Daphne, a Yale-bound high school senior whose depression has
blurred her sense of reality, works as an escort, advertising
her services online. It's a little bit of a "fuck-you" that
helps get her through the day, until her next door neighbor
catches her as the "entertainment" at his nephew's bachelor
party. With her hidden life precariously hanging in the balance,
Daphne agrees to spend one hour with her neighbor. Initially
confrontational, Daphne and her neighbor begin to shed their
bitter layers of personal disappointment and general cynicism
by talking about sex. It's eye-opening for her neighbor: BBBJs,
dining at the Y, salad tossing, and, of course, Snap! But
behind this teenager's jaded fantasies hides the very essence
of heartbreak, acceptance, need, and desire...ironically paralleled
by a broken man’s desperate attempts to test the limits of
her advertised promise to do anything and everything. |
