The Synopsis
Lesbian mumblecore drama So Long follows two women as they grapple with their post-breakup lives. Kicking off at the point of relationship meltdown, we follow 20-somethings Emily and Ray as they traverse the uncomfortable world of the newly single. From weird new housemates to a disastrous one-night stand, terrible jobs and creepier dudes, filmmakers Caitlin Farrugia and Michael Jones utilise naturalism and improvisation to explore a relatable slice of life. Shot in Melbourne, this study of fresh singledom captures the grinding pain and quiet triumph of rediscovering who you are outside of a relationship.
