Lotus Eaters

Synopsis

In Lotus Eaters we follow the story of two young people. Alice, a former model and struggling actress, finds herself unable to keep up with the extravagant living that her so-called friends furiously pursue. She spends her time dodging bailiffs and sliding from one bed to the next. Struggling to make sense of a life that she has become indifferent to she begins to feel that Felix, an old friend, is her chance at redemption and finding something real. Drifting through this alluring and hedonistic scene, consumed by a manic, clingy girlfriend and an abundance of fairweather friends, Felix also searches for something more.
