Detroit
By: Lisa D'Amour
Director: Kirill Sheynerman
In a "first ring" suburb outside a midsize American city, Ben and Mary fire up the grill to welcome the new neighbors who've moved into the long-empty house next door. The fledgling friendship soon veers out of control, shattering the fragile hold that newly unemployed Ben and burgeoning alcoholic Mary have on their way of life―with unexpected comic consequences. Detroit is a fresh, offbeat look at what happens when we dare to open ourselves up to something new.
