Those People

Charlie (Jonathan Gordon), a young art student from New York, is asked by his best friend Sebastian (Jason Ralph) to move into his apartment as he deals with depression and public scorn following his wealthy financier father Dick's (Daniel Gerroll) arrest on high-profile white-collar crime criminal charges. Charlie's mother thinks this is a bad idea due to long-standing one-sided romantic feelings he has for Sebastian. On a night out with Sebastian and a wider group of friends Charlie meets Lebanese people bar-pianist Tim (Haaz Sleiman). The two have chemistry, but Sebastian is refused service at the bar because of his father, which causes the group to abruptly leave. On their way back to Sebastian's apartment they are chased by paparazzi. The events of the night worsen Sebastian's depression.
