1991 · 18 mins

This short film was packaged on video with Hartley's featurette "Surviving Desire." It affectionately examines the lives of a group of "young, middle-class, white, college-educated, unskilled, broke, drunk" Brooklynites who would love to make something of their lives -- assuming they can pay the rent first.

Director: Hal Hartley

Cast: Bob Gosse, Jessica Sager, Jeffrey Howard, Elina Löwensohn, Bill Sage
