Jordan Firstman's #Cannes-bowing directorial debut trades the queer provocation of his past work for a cozy fable about unexpected parenthood.
Firstman plays Peter, a drug-happy party promoter tripping the light fantastic in New York.

In Peter’s case, his work provides a neat cover for what appears to be a pretty serious dependence on cocaine and other narcotics. But he’s not hurting anyone besides himself, so what’s the harm really?
