In the next 90 minutes you will travel across the ocean on a boat, and break up with your girlfriend. You will (accidentally) come out to your dad and find things about him that you never wanted to know. You will invite a stranger to your home and regret a lost lover. And you shall laugh, but not all of your laughter, and weep, but not all of your tears. Curated by Giuseppe Di Caprio
