Synopsis

Ben and Suzanne, A Reunion in 4 Parts

A couple in a long-distance relationship reunite for a road trip through Sri Lanka. Things go awry.

Theory of Achievement

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.
