MAYDAY – a film by Karen Cinorre – SPOILERS
This feminist fable is set in the psyche of Anastasia (Grace Van Patten), and as the story begins we find Ana waking up after a friend (Dimitri, played by Thรฉodore Pellerin) knocks on her car window. (She has been sleeping in her car outside the restaurant where she works.) The restaurant is preparing to host a wedding; a severe storm is approaching; and, for Ana, the everyday horrors of her existence will soon give way to the comparatively subdued horrors of warfare. Co-worker Dimitri, who will be performing at the wedding, points out to Ana that he still needs a singer.
ANA: “Don’t look at me.”
DIMITRI: “You’re a natural.”
ANA: “I’m not that kind of girl, Dimitri.”
DIMITRI: “Never had much luck with the ladies.”
