"An introverted yet raw description of emotional development, Living Still Life follows the lives of a quartet in their late twenties living in San Francisco. The four struggle to find clarity, purpose and themselves. Camille''s musing forces herself to live like a hermit rather than experience life, Mea, a quick-witted artist reads lips to escape reality, Jack, a romantic pushover whose ambivalence forces him to choose between two unexpected lovers, and Royce, deviously self-involved but soon figures out that his life is a destructive and self-constructed ruse. Each is presented with a unique disruption to his or her everyday life and they begin to unravel over a period of nine days."
