Powder Room

Synopsis

Powder Room is a comedy which follows Sam (Smith), as her life is turned upside down on a big night out. When reunited with her old college friends, Sam is forced to reevaluate her life and constructs an elaborate façade in order to convince herself and her friends that she has it all. But once her dysfunctional yet devoted trio of best mates intervene, her carefully crafted charade begins to crumble amidst the shots, cigarettes, ciders and toilet transgressions. Faced with some very harsh realities, Sam must struggle to remain true to herself and reassess exactly what she wants from life.
