A young woman wearing a white feathery coat and braids gestures mid sentence.

It’s Just a Fucking Opening

Dir. Josh Brainin, Camille Bacon, Youssef Boucetta | U.S.

Synopsis

Up-and-coming artist Anisa is woefully unprepared for the pettiness and performative antics taking place at the gallery opening for her latest pieces. Everything but the artwork seems to take center stage. With an absent girlfriend and career-oriented bestie focused on their own priorities, Anisa is left to spiral alone at the end of the night.
