The Frugal Repast

Synopsis

Three bright urbanites want to make their mark on the world.

Paul, a master of irony and distance, is a hardworking film maker on the rise.

His girlfriend Karen, a grad student, must get on with her thesis or find a life outside of academia.

Dave, a life long buddy whose brilliance is being consumed by increasingly severe episodes of manic depression, is camping on Paul's couch.

Paul and Karen decide to turn Paul into a documentary.

The camera is on 24 hours a day, capturing up close images of his jags and torpors and their responses.

How far will love, friendship and ambition take this hip trio?
