Their individual ideals have also changed from their socially conscious and radical days in college, to where they mostly now live outwardly comfortable and financially lucrative lives. With Alex’s young and socially naive girlfriend, Chloe, added to the mix, the friends spend the weekend together at married couple Harold and Sarah’s house in South Carolina following the funeral. Especially in light of Alex’s suicide, the friends discuss their lives and collective relationships with each other, then and now. Search keywords |
