I don't really know how to deal with you...

In Philadelphia for the weekend, Tessa and Ben, a couple on the rocks, rent a room in the apartment of Adam, a reclusive stranger who quickly becomes an unwilling voyeur to the most private parts of the couple’s life. Tensions rise as the three enter an intimate battle to gain and reclaim territory.

WHY YOU SHOULD SEE THIS FILM: Following her debut feature Actual People, American rising indie star Kit Zauhar proves she's one to watch with this outstanding chamber drama. Staging an ensemble of riveting performances she transforms mundane spaces to hotly contested waring territories and twists intimacy into a volatile game all with an irresistibly wry sense of humour.
