Experiencing Interruptions?

Frame of Reference

Logline: Classic film and misperceptions come together as a broken-hearted woman and her best friend review her latest relationship through very different eyes.
​

Synopsis: "Frame of Reference" focuses on Alex and her best friend Lauren as they recount Alex's latest failed relationship. But are they even talking about the same thing? Alex tends to wear a romanticized 1940s filter on her memories and Lauren, well, Lauren doesn't remember it quite so nicely.
​
Who's right and who's wrong? It all depends on your frame of reference.
