Aleksi

Synopsis: Aleksi is a photographer dodging the responsibilities of adulthood and giving into all of her impulses with the various men in her life. An indie-style dramedy that tackles the topic of “the second coming of age” and figuring out life goals on the brink of one’s thirties in a realistic fashion.
