Independent comedy directed by and starring Lena Durnham, in which a film studies graduate returns to live in her mother's Tribeca loft while she decides what to do with her life. Aura (Dunham) had little trouble earning her degree and enjoying the college lifestyle, but now that she has obtained a qualification is genuinely puzzled about what to do with it. While she muses on her future she must put up with her artist mother, Siri (Laurie Simmons), and her self-possessed sister, Nadine (Grace Dunham). After taking a job at a nearby restaurant to make ends meet, Aura meets Keith (David Call), a chef, and a rival for her affection, Jed (Alex Karpovsky), but will either help her find the path she is looking for?
Please note this is a region 2 DVD and will require a region 2 (Europe) or region Free DVD Player in order to play. Aura (Lena Dunham) has just graduated from a university in the Midwest, receiving a degree in film theory that even she seems to realise is essentially worthless. With no real prospects she returns home to her mother, Siri (Laurie Simmons), a successful photographer living in New York City. Aura's 17-year-old sister, Nadine (Grace Dunham), is about to graduate from high school and is choosing which college to attend in the fall; Aura is ostensibly back home to help Siri and Nadine during a hectic time, but they don't appear to particularly need or want her assistance. Aura befriends Jed (Alex Karpovsky), a minor celebrity thanks to his surreal YouTube videos, who insists he's in New York to take meetings for an upcoming TV project; he soon invites himself into Aura's bedroom as a semi-permanent guest, though he clearly has no interest in any sort of romantic or sexual relationship. With little else to do, Aura takes a job at a nearby restaurant and becomes smitten with Keith (David Call), one of the cooks; while he seems attracted to her, he also has a girlfriend and it isn't until they're both stoned one night that he makes his move in a rather unusual setting.
