Meet Me in St. Louis
USA 87 min.
After hooking up at a party, Jo considers her alcohol-fueled one-night stand with Micah history, but he is eager to explore the possibility of a deeper connection. On the surface, they have little in common other than both being twentysomething and African American. For Jo, self-assured but still trying to find her place in the world, race is just one lens through which to see the world, while Micah proves obsessed with the subject. After Jo eventually agrees to spend her Sunday with him, afternoon turns to evening as the initial sparks flare once more. Their intimacy grows, along with an air of pensive reflection as each challenges the other’s assumptions, core beliefs and sense of identity.
