Frances Ha

The film follows the everyday life of Frances (Greta Gerwig), an idiosyncratic aspiring dancer in her late 20s who is still trying to “figure it out”. Losing her soul mate/flatmate is only one of the problems she needs to face in the adult life for which she is less than unprepared. All the people surrounding her are either in relationships, owning apartments, or having great careers, yet Frances is jobless and penniless – basically “undateable”.

Based on real events according the book written by Cheryl Strayed, “Wild” literally shows the hard and exhausting journey of regaining one’s strength and beliefs again.
