Sometimes growing up means growing apart. 

It's Silver Lake in 2004 where Carla and Pete are chasing the perfect soundtrack to their lives. They soon find it takes more than a killer vinyl collection to survive in a city that doesn't give AF.

Once driven by their band The Disenchanted, their Eastside dreams are sidelined by life's demands. Carla experiences monotony as a TV extra, while French-American Pete grapples with identity and ambition. Answering phones at the Institut Français, he's torn between his French roots whispering of Rimbaud and rebellion, while his American side chases dreams of reinvention and happy endings.

 

As he hides his bisexuality, shying from intimacy with Carla, she feels rejected with their once-strong connection fraying under unspoken truths.

Somewhere in Hollywood gives Normal People a queer twist and Wayfarers, nailing the early-2000s pop culture buzz, the sting of unrequited love, and the fight to find yourself when everything stops making sense.
