About You Are Alone
âWeâre gonna play a game of Snap! Pick a bracelet. Pull it hard!â
But itâs a game of desperate consequences in You Are Alone
, a dark exploration of how far a man and a woman will go to escape loneliness, if only for an hour. Daphne, a Yale-bound high school senior whose depression has blurred her sense of reality, works as an escort, advertising her services online. Itâs a little bit of a âfuck-youâ that helps get her through the day, until her next door neighbor catches her as the âentertainmentâ at his nephewâs bachelor party. With her hidden life precariously hanging in the balance, Daphne agrees to spend one hour with her neighbor.
Initially confrontational, Daphne and her neighbor begin to shed their bitter layers of personal disappointment and general cynicism by talking about sex. Itâs eye-opening for her neighbor: BBBJs, dining at the Y, salad tossing, and, of course Snap! But behind this teenagerâs jaded fantasies hides the very essence of heartbreak, acceptance, need, and desireâ¦ironically paralleled by a broken manâs desperate attempts to test the limits of her advertised promise to do anything and everything.
