Synoposis
Right Now is about Alice and Ben, a couple in an apartment building. Alice is bereft and haunted. While dealing with her mysterious and persistent neighbors next door, she struggles to keep a grasp on what is left of her shattered reality. Right Now is an unsettling modern folktale that explores the darker recesses of the human ability to normalize our traumas.
