When two women decide to bond over a shared cheating ex, an unlikely queer love story unfolds as they connect year after year in the same bar bathroom.
IN STALLING, when Alex and Julie learn that they’ve been cheated on by the same man, they agree to do the mature thing: meet up and trauma bond. What begins as a bizarre support group in a women’s bar bathroom, snowballs into an unconventional meet-cute that leaves them both enamored with each other. Unable to state the obvious, they joke, “Same time, next year?” Except it’s not a joke. Because one year later, both of them show up. And again, the year after that. We follow them in the same bar bathroom, their chemistry reaching a climax between clusters of glitter- dusted friends and a clutter of graffiti, until a final moment of intimacy reveals that they can’t stall any longer. After four years, it’s time to face the elephant in the (bath)room -- can they see each other beyond the hurt that brought them together? Or is all of this just a really, really bad idea?
