The Longest Week
Director: Peter Glanz
Actors: Jason Bateman, Olivia Wilde, Billy Crudup
PlotConrad Valmont is a wealthy, aimless man living off the fortune of his parents, who reside in a hotel. His disenchanted lifestyle is abruptly disrupted when his parents inform him that they are getting a divorce, leading to his sudden eviction from the family abode with only a week's notice. Homeless and penniless, Conrad is forced to rely on the hospitality of his best friend Dylan, an equally affluent individual who has managed to maintain a more conventional career path. During this period, Conrad meets Beatrice, an enchanting woman, and quickly becomes infatuated with her. Unbeknownst to Conrad, Beatrice is Dylan's girlfriend.
As Conrad navigates his reduced circumstances, he begins to reflect on his lifestyle and relationships. The proximity to Dylan and Beatrice complicates matters further, as Conrad finds himself increasingly entangled in a web of deception and desire. What begins as a week of refuge and introspection rapidly spirals into a chaotic blend of romantic entanglements and personal dilemmas, pushing each character to confront their own truths and misconceptions about love, friendship, and personal growth.
