01 / THE STORY
A little about the film.
Jamie (Erin Fisher) arrives in New York City, where she is supposed to meet her friend Samantha at a diner. After getting off the subway, she asks a man named Charlie (Cris Lankenau) for directions. Charlie escorts her to the diner, but Samantha never shows up and does not answer her phone when Jamie tries to call her. Charlie invites Jamie to his apartment, where they play music on his toy keyboard. The next day, the two go to visit Charlie's friend Adam and eat coleslaw. Then, they break into Samantha's apartment; she is not there. They decide to go to an art show by Jamie's friend Robin. They meet Robin and Charlie's acquaintance Kyle, who chastises Charlie for never socializing. Everyone then goes to Robin's place for an after-party. After spending some time talking to the other people there, Jamie and Charlie leave and take the subway back to his apartment.
