OFFICIAL SELECTION - 2010 SUNDANCE FILM FESTIVAL

Upon arriving in New York City, Louis Ives (Paul Dano) quickly lands a job at an environmental magazine and leases a room from Henry Harrison (Kevin Kline), a sarcastic yet celebrated playwright without a penny to his name.

As Louis attempts to strike up a relatio nship with his environmentally conscious co-worker Mary (Katie Holmes), his urban education gets a sizable jump-start thanks to Henry, who spends his evenings with high-society widows hanging off both arms. But as the bond between Henry and Louis strengthens, the young protégé realizes he isn't the only one gaining something from their unusual friendship.
