Phantom of a Killing

A young, broken-up couple tries to execute a late night hook up through performance, but the show is repeatedly inconvenienced by existential intrusions.

A coming-of-age story that follows two strangers over the course of two quietly eventful days, which begin with the severance of a friendship and the end of a summer-long love affair originating from the same emotional source. When Faye, a twenty-five-year-old Black woman, mistakes a nameless Young Man of the same age for a complicated figure from her childhood, the pair finds themselves catapulted into what at first seems like a run-of-the-mill romantic affair, but which soon morphs into something far beyond their comprehension. What follows is a mysterious exploration of two minds becoming one, a tender study of friendship, memory, desire and identity.
