Between Us

Two couples, one friendship, two different planets. Grace and Carlo are newlyweds. They live in New York, where up-and-coming photographer Carlo is the toast of the art world. Joel, an old college friend, has moved to the Midwest with his wife Sharyl and is reaping the rewards of a succesful career in advertising.

Two couples, one friendship, two different planets. Grace and Carlo are newlyweds. They live in New York, where up-and-coming photographer Carlo is the toast of the art world. Joel, an old college friend, has moved to the Midwest with his wife Sharyl and is reaping the rewards of a succesful career in advertising. When the two families get together over the weekend, the masks will finally come off, revealing bitter rivalries, hidden secrets and mutual contempt that eventually lead up to a spectacular confrontation. Two years later, Joel and Sharyl show up on their former friends’ front door. What could they possibly want? A dark comedy about tarnished relationships, artistic struggles and compromise. Dan Mirvish adapts Joe Hortua’s stage play for the big screen, masterfully combining past and present in a bittersweet story of friendship that’s no different to life itself. Featuring a brilliant cast most indie filmmakers would rarely get the chance to work with, «Between Us» is a mine field of grown-up dilemmas, cleverly dissecting the upper middle class with the humor it deserves.
