Filmmaker Noah Baumbach's feature debut is a comedy-drama centred around a group of friends and recent graduates struggling to kickstart their lives post-college.
Although unwilling to make any life-changing decisions, they can agree on one thing: nobody wants to end up like Chet, in his tenth year of college and bartending on the side. Stars Josh Hamilton (Eighth Grade), Olivia D'Abo (The Wonder Years), Chris Eigeman (The Last Days of Disco), and Parker Posey, with Eric Stolz as Chet.
