Visiting filmmakers Josh and Benny Safdie in attendance for Q&A!
After months of being alone, sad, busy, sidetracked, free, lofty, late and away from his
kids, Lenny (Ronald Bronstein), 34 with graying frazzled hair, picks his kids up from
school. Every year he spends of couple of weeks with his sons Sage (Sage Ranaldo),
9, and Frey (Frey Ranaldo), 7. Lenny juggles his kids and everything else all within a
midtown studio apartment in New York City. He ultimately faces the choice of being
their father or their friend with the idea that these two weeks must last 6 months. In these
two weeks, a trip upstate, visitors from strange lands, a mother, a girlfriend, “magic”
blankets, and complete lawlessness seem to take over their lives. The film is a swan
song to excuses and irresponsibility; to fatherhood and self-created experiences, and to
what its like to be truly torn between being a child and being an adult.
